“The Boko Haram first attacked the Banki police station but they were repelled… They then went to Kumshe, a nearby town, and attacked the prison lockup, killing two officials before setting all the inmates free,” Reuters quoted a police spokesman for Borno state as saying on Friday.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Boko Haram militants have organized several prison breaks in the past.

In another attack on Friday, gunmen suspected to be affiliated with Boko Haram shot and killed five civilians near Babban Mutum town in the eastern state of Taraba.

The extremist group has taken responsibility for a number of deadly gun and bomb attacks in several parts of Nigeria since 2009.

Human rights groups report that violent actions by Boko Haram since mid-2009 have claimed more than 1,000 lives, including over 300 this year alone.
