Nigeria army officers 'killed in camp raid'

Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have killed more than 44 army officers, including a senior commander, in an attack on a military base in a remote village in north-eastern Nigeria.
According to army sources and some local media, the militants driving in a convoy of gun-mounted trucks overrun the base in Maitele in Borno state near the border with Niger.
Many other soldiers are reportedly missing following the attack.
The attackers also seized military equipment.
In a separate assault yesterday, reports say the militants killed at least nine civilians and abducted more than a dozen others in the village of Mammanti also in Borno state.
