Punch Newspapers has news that gunmen opened fire on Muslim worshippers as they were leaving a
mosque in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing at least 20 people, a
local official said.
The attack happened in a remote village called Dogo Dawa, in Kaduna
State, said Abdullahi Muhammad, the traditional ruler and councillor of
Birnin Gwari, a local government area next door to the village, Reuters
reports.
The police commissioner Olufemi Adenaike confirmed the incident, but did not give a death toll.
Although no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, it
follows a trend by extremist Boko Haram sect, which has been behind
deadly attacks on churches
