Some 86 people died after Boko Haram fighters arrived in the village, initially shooting at locals from their cars before setting fire to huts with people inside.

Militants, also on Saturday, attempted to attack a camp for refugees displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency, close to Dalori, but were thwarted by troops.

“We had just finished evening prayers when the gunmen came to our village and indiscriminately opened fire and set fire to homes”, resident Kulo Sheriff told CNN.

Not content yet, Boko Haram unleashed three female suicide bombers who after mingling with villagers blew themselves up after they were intercepted by troops, Anka said. In the Lake Chad region, that marks off the border among the countries of Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger, suicide bombers have attacked two Chadian villages killing three people.

Boko Haram is now the target of blame after a witness said it was the extremist group who massacred a small village in Nigeria. Borno State health commissioner Haruna Mshelia said 75 bodies were brought into the hospitals, while 10 others had been buried on Sunday.

Some residents fled into the bush and watched as attackers torched their homes Saturday night.

WorldStage Newsonline- A total of 65 persons lost their lives and 136 persons injured following the weekend attacks on Dalori village by insurgents, according to a statement from national Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). The survivor, identified by AP as Alamin Bakura, told the newswire that several of his family members were either killed or wounded. They detonated two bombs on Sunday in an area protected by Hezbollah, the Lebanese-based Iranian ploy. Boko Haram abducted over 500 women within five years leading up to that mass kidnapping in 2014.

Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State – also known as ISIS or ISIL – and killed about 20,000 people and driven 2.5 million Nigerians from their homes over a six-year period.
