Abuja [Nigeria], April 29: Armed men killed at least 29 people in Guyaku village in Nigeria's Adamawa State, in an attack that lasted several hours and left property destroyed, officials said.
"My heart breaks for the people of Guyaku," Adamawa's Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri said in a post on social media as he visited the bereaved community on Monday.
"Today, I stood on the ground where our brothers and sisters were cruelly taken from us. This act of cowardice is an affront to our humanity and will not go unpunished," he said.
Fintiri also said his administration would continue to support "military and vigilante groups" as it intensified security operations in response to the attack.
The regional affiliate of the ISIS group claimed responsibility for the attack in a post on the Telegram messaging app, according to the Reuters and Associated Press news agencies.
