ISWAP fighters launched a multi-pronged assault on the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) HQ and the Naval Base at Mile 3 and Mile 4. After a "ding-dong" battle, the military withdrew.

A group of more than 40 loggers left Shehuri, on the outskirts of Gamboru, on Thursday morning to collect firewood in the Wulgo forest. They failed to return by evening as usual. The following day (Friday), a search party mobilized by local militia leaders went deep into the forest and recovered three bodies identified as among the loggers. All three were shot from behind, indicating they were killed while attempting to escape. The remaining loggers were presumed kidnapped by Boko Haram, which maintains camps in the forest.

They then proceeded to set fire to homes throughout the village, burning approximately half the village before departing. Survivors with gunshot wounds and burns were treated at a hospital in Biu
