Boko Haram raids Kautikari village in Borno State

No fewer than 15 people were killed by Boko Haram fighters during a raid on a village in northern Nigeria, local residents confirmed.

The Islamic extremists burned homes during the attack Tuesday on Kautikari village, near Chibok, the residents said.

Chibok is where more than 200 schoolgirls were abducted in April by Boko Haram.
