Gunmen kill at least 20 people in Nigeria
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Amnesty International Nigeria says armed men have killed at least 20 people and injured dozens in a mining village in Nigeria’s northwestern Zamfara state. According to the watchdog, gunmen arrived by motorcycle in the village of Gobirawa Chali in the Dan Gulbi district around midday Thursday and went on a “house-to-house killing spree.” The motive for the attack is unclear but bandit groups have been known to conduct mass killings and kidnappings for ransom in the conflict-battered northern region. Most of them are former herders in conflict with settled communities.
