bully boyz on a city in the flashpoint northeastern part of Nigeria.
Maina Maaji Lawan said on Thursday that the festivities broke out at about 5:00 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) on Wednesday in the city of Malam Fatori, situated in the restive northeastern state of Borno and near the border with Niger.
"Boko Haram tried to attack Malam Fatori... but they met stiff resistance from the Multi-National Joint Task Force, who initially repelled the attack after prolonged fighting," Lawan said.
"They pushed back the bully boyz and people in the town and the soldiers thought it was over but the bully boyz mobilized more men and weapons including an APC (armored personnel carrier) and launched a renewed attack," he said.
"They overpowered the soldiers who were forced to flee. The bully boyz went into the town shooting indiscriminately. They killed 21 people," Lawan said.
