Victims' relatives said suspected Boko Haram
extremists attacked a village in northeastern Nigeria, killing at least 25
people who had just returned home from a wedding, ABC News reported.
Rebecca Malgwi said two of her brothers-in-law were
killed in the attack on Kuda-Kaya village in Adamawa state on Monday night.
She said the attackers went from house to house. She
said many people could not escape because the shooting came from all
directions.
Former local government official Yahaya Muhammed
confirms that 25 people were killed.
While there is no immediate claim of responsibility,
Boko Haram is known for attacking villages in the area. The insurgent group is
also active in neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
