Boko Haram gunmen killed 22 police officers, 14 prison officials, two soldiers and four civilians, while 13 of the group’s own members died, military spokesman Sagir Musa told Reuters. 

Gunmen freed 105 prison members during the raid which began at around 5 a.m. (0400 GMT) and lasted almost five hours, Musa said. Bama’s police station, military barracks and government buildings were burned to the ground, a Reuters witness saw.
