The Islamist group Boko Haram has been accused of killing 17 people in an attack on Alagarno, a village in Borno State, close to Chibok, where hundreds of schoolgirls were seized on Apr 14, BBC reports.
The attack comes a day after an estimated, 118 people died in a twin bomb attack in the central city of Jos, Plateau State, believed to have been masterminded by Boko Haram insurgents.
In the latest attack, Boko Haram fighters reportedly spent hours killing and looting in the village of Alagarno.

One survivor told the BBC that every single building in the village had been torched. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
