Suspected Boko Haram insurgents killed 18 people in an attack on a town in northeastern Nigeria, a day after the Islamist group released a video denying it had agreed a truce with the government in Abuja.
Fighters armed with explosives stormed Uba, a town in Borno state about 800 kilometers (500 miles) from the capital, Hassan Ibrahim, a member of the pro-government militia, said by telephone yesterday.
