Suspected Boko Haram Islamists have killed 12 people in a raid on a village in north-east Nigeria, police say. Police said about 30 gunmen also burnt houses and stole cars in the village of Sandiya, in Borno state. A resident of Sandiya, Modu Judum, told the Reuters news agency that about 30 armed men, travelling in a convoy of pick-up trucks and motorcycles "stormed the Sandiya village and started chanting 'Allahu Akbar' [God is great], before opening fire on the helpless". The gunmen were on a revenge mission,"They are accusing us of collaborating with security men in tracking them."
