At least 100 villagers were tragically killed in northeastern Nigeria in a brutal attack by suspected Boko Haram Islamic extremists. The attack took place in the Tarmuwa council area of Yobe state, where more than 50 extremists on motorcycles descended on the community on Sunday evening.
The assailants opened fire indiscriminately, targeting a market, worshippers, and people's homes before setting buildings ablaze. The police spokesperson confirmed that the attack was carried out by Boko Haram, a militant group that has been waging an insurgency in the region since 2009.
