The assault involved around 150 Boko Haram terrorists on motorcycles, armed with rifles and RPGs, attacking Mafa with the intention of retaliation against local vigilantes.
Yobe state, significantly affected by the insurgency, sees thousands killed and millions displaced by Boko Haram and criminal gangs collaborating to raid villages.
The confirmed death toll from the Mafa attack is at least 81, with many bodies buried by relatives before recovery efforts by the military.
