Boko Haram militants have killed 32 people and kidnapped scores of others in an attack in the restive northeast.

Locals are still counting those abducted from the village of Gumsuri.

They say the figure could pass 100 and include women and children.

One witness says after killing our youths, the insurgents have taken away our wives and daughters.

Details have taken four days to emerge because the mobile phone network has largely collapsed in the remote area.

Gamsuri is located on the road that leads to Chibok, where Boko Haram abducted more than 200 girls from a school in April.
