Boko Haram in recent weeks has taken a string of towns stretching over 200 miles (320 kilometers) alongside Nigeria's northeast border with Cameroon in a new campaign to create an Islamic caliphate, mimicking the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.
The extremists also have attacked a town and villages across the border in Cameroon, but that country's state radio said Cameroonian troops beat them off, and forced them back across the border into Nigeria.
The United States said last week it is about to launch a major border-security program for Nigeria and its neighbors, but gave no details.

Thousands of civilians have been forced from their homes in the latest offensive, joining more than 1.5 million other Nigerians who are refugees within their country or across borders in Niger, Cameroon and Chad, according to United Nations figures.
Extremists who have taken other towns have told residents that their next target is Maiduguri, the headquarters of the military campaign in the northeast.
