Reports say several houses in Koppa village were burnt down by the insurgents on their way back to Sambisa.
Casualty figure was unknown as at press time.
Michika is one of 14 LGAs where supplementary governorship election would be conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on March 23.
