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 5am and lasted almost five hours," Musa said.
Bama's police station, military barracks and government buildings were burned to the ground.
Bama is a small, remote town in north-eastern Borno State, where Boko Haram first launched an uprising in 2009.
One of the group's main demands is that its imprisoned members and family members are released and it has carried out a number of jail breaks in the country.
