Boko Haram militants killed 33 people and kidnapped at least 100 in a brutal attack on a village in the north-eastern Nigeria, BBC -- monitored here -- reported Thursday.
The UK-based broadcaster said that Boko Haram militants had seized young men, women and children from Gumsuri village.
The attack happened on Sunday but news has only just emerged, after survivors reached the city of Maiduguri.
More than 2,000 people have been killed in militant violence this year alone, mostly in north-eastern Nigeria, near the border with Cameroon.
Boko Haram has been waging an insurgency since 2009 and is seeking to create an Islamist state in north-eastern Nigeria.
