Suspected Islamists have killed at least 12 people in the town of Damboa in Nigeria's north-eastern Borno state, residents and local officials say.
The attack occurred late on Monday. Eyewitnesses say the gunmen apparently targeted hunters selling bush meat.
Strict Muslims are forbidden to eat bush meat from animals such as monkeys and pigs.
The militant group Boko Haram, which is fighting to create an Islamic state, has staged many attacks in Borno state.
More than 600 people were killed last year in attacks blamed on the group across the country, Boko Haram was founded in the capital of Borno state, Maiduguri, in 2002.
