Boko Haram militants have killed dozens of people in fresh attacks on villages in northern Nigeria, the BBC has learnt.

Twin bomb attacks have killed at least 30 people in a market in the central Nigerian city of Jos, eyewitnesses say.

Around 39 people are believed to have been killed in an attack on a north-east Nigerian town by Islamist militants.

At least 69 people have been killed in an attack on villages in Katsina state, north-western Nigeria, officials and witnesses say.
