A suicide bomb in a church in the northeast of Nigeria has capped a week in which almost every day saw deaths due to violence by Boko Haram militants.
At least 5 people were killed in the latest attack in Potiskum, in Yobe state.
Recent attacks include:
- Friday: several suicide bombers kill large numbers in Zabarmari village
- Thursday: two female suicide bombers attack another village in Borno state
- Wednesday: more than 50 gunmen kill 97 people in the village of Kukawa, near Lake Chad
- Tuesday: 48 men shot dead after prayers in two villages near the town of Monguno
Thousands have died in the violence which has gripped Nigeria in recent years. The Nigerian military has also been accused of committing war crimes, including summarily executing people suspected to be members or supporters of Boko Haram.
