Thousands flee Nigerian attacks
Thousands of Nigerians are fleeing the north-eastern city of Maiduguri following a spate of recent attacks, which have killed at least 40 people.

Some of those leaving are students after the university was closed.

The attacks have been carried out by the radical Islamist group, Boko Haram, which opposes Western education and fights for Islamic rule.
