The military on Monday said it had counted 43 bodies but was still looking for more casualties.

The killings sent shockwaves across the country, drawing condemnation from many Nigerians.

Also on Tuesday, senators called for President Muhammadu Buhari to sack service chiefs and replace them with people with fresh ideas and solutions.
