According to him, the killings took place in at least three separate attacks in the state.
Senator Zannah said the attackers first target was a teacher training college in the town of Dikwa.
"They killed five people there and abducted several women," he said.
"The attackers burned down the college library before escaping."
"The militants then attacked two villages near the border with Cameroon killing a further 130 people," the senator said.
The attacks took place on Wednesday and Thursday, with initial reports claiming around 70 people had been killed.
The Nigerian military has not yet commented on the attacks.
