On September 4, 2016, clashes near the village killed at least 30 Boko Haram militants and five soldiers.[3] The armed forces said Boko Haram attacked their military post on March 15, 2020, which they responded to by repelling the attack, killing 50 insurgents.[4] Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the December 12, 2020 massacre of 27 people in Toumour. About 60% of the village was burned, and more killings before Christmas were threatened. The terrorists are said to have crossed Lake Chad by swimming.[5]
