Nigeria: Boko Haram Militants Attack Village – 20 Left Dead

Officials in Nigeria have said more than 20 people were killed when gunmen, believed to be part of Boko Haram , attacked a village in the country’s northeast.

Residents in the town of Daku say the gunmen surrounded the village market on Sunday and fired indiscriminately at people in the vicinity.

The violence is the latest to hit Nigeria’s troubled northeastern region.

Militants from Boko Haram are holding more than 200 schoolgirls they kidnapped from the nearby town of Chibok in mid-April.
