Suspected Boko Haram extremists attacked a village in Adamawa in northeastern Nigeria, killing at least 25 people who had just returned home from a wedding, victims’ relatives say on Tuesday.
Rebecca Malgwi says two of her brothers-in-law were killed in the attack on Kuda-Kaya village in Adamawa on Monday night.She says the attackers went from house to house. She says many people could not escape because the shooting came from all directions.
Former local government official Yahaya Muhammed confirms that 25 people were killed.
While there is no immediate claim of responsibility, Boko Haram is known for attacking villages in the area. The insurgent group is also active in neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
