The United Nations has condemned the killing of 63 people in Borno State by suspected Boko Haram terrorists.
Five soldiers and 58 civilians have been killed in a fresh attack on Daral-Jamal, a community along the Bama-Banki Road in the Sambisa Forest.
The insurgents also burnt down over 20 houses, vehicles, foodstuffs and other valuables belonging to the resettled Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
In a statement, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator, Mohamed Fall, asked the Nigerian authorities to arrest the perpetrators of the attack. He also commiserated with the families of the victims of the attack.
