More than 60 people were killed in overnight attacks by the jihadist group Boko Haram in the northern Nigerian state of Borno, local officials said. At least five of the people killed were soldiers.

Resident of Darul Jama says military was warned for three days about Boko Haram massing near village but did nothing.

Many of those killed had recently returned to the village in Borno State, following years of displacement.
