More than 50 people were killed in the latest attack blamed on Boko Haram Islamists which targeted churches in Nigeria's embattled northeast, a Borno state government official said Monday.
"So far we have 54 dead," said the official, who requested anonymity, of the raid on four villages just outside Chibok, where Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in April.
A local leader in Chibok, who also asked that his name be withheld, said residents had discovered at least 47 bodies in the surrounding bushland, but told AFP the search was ongoing and figures were still being collated.
