Boko Haram unrest: Nigerian militants 'kidnap 100 villagers'

Boko Haram has taken control of several towns and villages in the north-east.

Militants have stormed a remote village in north-eastern
Nigeria, killing at least 33 people and kidnapping at least
100, a survivor has told the BBC.
He said that suspected Boko Haram militants had seized
young men, women and children from Gumsuri village.
The attack happened on Sunday but news has only just
emerged, after survivors reached the city of Maiduguri.
Meanwhile, Cameroon's army says it has killed 116
Nigerian militants who had attacked one of its bases, AFP
reports.
Residents told the BBC the armed militants attacked the
border town of Amchide on Wednesday, arriving in two
vehicles and many others on foot.
They raided the market area, setting fire to shops and more
than 50 houses.
No group has said it carried out either attack but officials
have blamed Nigerian-based Boko Haram militants.
More than 2,000 people have been killed in militant violence
this year alone, mostly in north-eastern Nigeria, near the
border with Cameroon.
