It was gathered that one Jacob Auta was killed and a military vehicle was stolen during the attack which took place around 4:00 pm on Wednesday.
According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen over one hundred came riding on motorcycles as they stormed the area, shooting occasionally at the camp.
The camp was destryed and some military vehicles were also burnt during the attack.
