At least 86 people, including a number of
children, have been killed in a series of attacks
on a village in north-eastern Nigeria, according
to officials.
Witnesses said that suspected Boko Haram
fighters firebombed huts and opened fire on
civilians on Saturday evening in the village of
Dalori, leaving bullet-ridden and charred bodies
strewn across the streets. Gunmen also tried
to storm a camp close to Dalori, home to
some 25,000 refugees, but were repelled by
troops.
Witnesses said that they heard the screams of
children burning to death as huts and homes
were razed to the ground.
