December 25, 2020Boko Haram jihadists killed at least seven people in an assault on a predominantly Christian village conducted yesterday on Christmas Eve in Nigeria's restless north-east.

Local sources told AFP.   



Security agencies in recent days had warned of an increased risk of attacks during Christmas.



Fighters on trucks and motorcycles stormed Pemi, a predominantly Christian village in the state of Borno, firing "indiscriminately" and setting fire to ten houses.



Stocks of food were also plundered to be distributed to residents to celebrate Christmas.
