'Boko Haram Islamists' kill 35 in Nigeria raid
Suspected Islamist militants from the Boko Haram group have killed at least 35 people in north-eastern Nigeria, local officials have said.
They say the gunmen raided the village of Demba in Borno state after locals refused to co-operate with them.
The attack happened on Monday, but details emerged only now because of the remoteness of the area.
Boko Haram, which has waged a deadly insurgency in Nigeria since 2009, has so far not commented on the incident.
