Suspected Boko Haram Islamist militants roared into a northeastern Nigerian village on motorcycles, opened fire on a market and set shops and homes ablaze, killing at least 37 people, according to a military official.
Residents said the death toll could be even higher, with villagers still missing and feared dead after fighters chased them into the bush.
The attack took place on Sunday afternoon in Yobe, one of three states at the frontline of an insurgency that has lasted 15 years.
Thousands of Nigerians have been killed and more than 2 million displaced.
