Jihadist fighters killed 59 people during an attack on a village in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday, a local official said. Fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) attacked the village of Gubio in Borno state, leaving 59 locals dead, said local anti-jihadist militia chief Babakura Kolo. The toll was confirmed by another militiaman and a local chief. ISWAP, which split from Boko Haram in 2016, focuses on attacking the military but it has also been accused of increasingly targeting civilians. abu-cl/fjb/pvh/jxb
