At least 17 people have reportedly been killed in a Boko Haram attack on the Borno state village of Alagarno.


The BBC reports that many homes were burnt in the assault on the village.


Borno state is currently under a state of emergency after the Nigerian parliament approved an extension following a spate of Boko Haram attacks in the north of Nigeria.


The incident comes just a day after twin bomb blasts rocked the central Nigerian city of Jos, killing 118 people.
