106 People Dead in Nigerian Village Massacre

At least 106 people have been massacred in a Nigerian village, the country’s senator Ali Ndume told AFP, blaming the attack on Boko Haram militants.

The politician added that 60 of those killed have been buried.

Witnesses say that some 200 people dressed in military uniform came at around 20:30 GMT in motorcycles and six trucks.

Locals were asked to assemble when alleged Boko Haram members started hacking and slaughtering the mostly Christian village.

Boko Haram is seeking to impose Shariah law in Africa’s top oil producer.
