Nine people have been killed and nine others injured when Boko Haram fighters raided two villages in northeast Nigeria.
Jihadists in pickup trucks attacked Kalari Abdiye and nearby Amarwa, in Borno state’s capital Maiduguri.
They attacked the villages when it was raining and people were indoors.
Eye witnesses say, frightened residents were shot “indiscriminately” as they rushed out of their homes.
The two villages were completely burnt by the attackers.
