ISIS militants attacked a UN base and overran a humanitarian centre in north-east Nigeria, trapping 25 aid workers.

Dozens of Islamic State in West Africa Province fighters invaded the town of Dikwa in Borno state, forcing troops from the military base and torching the humanitarian centre, a military source told AFP on Monday.

"We have 25 staff sheltering in the bunker which is under siege by the militants, but so far no staff has been affected," a humanitarian source said.
