On 30 January 2016, Boko Haram militants entered the suburban town of Dalori, Borno state, Nigeria, located near Borno's capital city, Maiduguri. Approximately 86 people were killed and upwards of 135 more injured in the attack, which is believed to have been a reprisal against the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) but also comes a week after the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) announced its transition into the "resettlement and rebuilding stage" in its operation to dismantle Boko Haram. It was Boko Haram's first major attack of 2016.
