In the latest raid, scores of Boko Haram fighters armed with guns and petrol bombs stormed the remote farming village of Kautikari on motorcycles early Tuesday, shooting randomly and setting fire on many homes.
The attackers asked residents not to flee, saying that they were purposely in the village on targets.
One Mr. Adamu Kolomgunna, who fled the village for the town of Maiduguri confirmed that the gunmen killed 15 youth vigilantes who keep watch on the village against Boko Haram attacks.
The gunmen also warned residents not to stand in their way when they carry out attacks, said Silas Bitrus, another resident who gave a similar death toll.
