The attack was a reprisal against the Civilian Joint Task Force, and it began when militants in two cars and on motorcycles entered Dalori and began to shoot at residents and firebomb their huts.

[2] The attack lasted for about four hours, and the militants allegedly burnt children alive.

[3] The Nigerian Army was unable to fight the militants until reinforcements arrived, causing Boko Haram to retreat.

[4] Questions have been raised over how the militants were able to attack a settlement so close to army headquarters in Maiduguri, how they apparently drove unhindered past roads patrolled by soldiers and vigilantes, and how they were able to attack the village for several hours before the army intervened and drove them out.
