Motorcycle-riding gunmen in northern Nigeria have killed 11 people, local government and community leaders said Wednesday, in the latest violence in the area.
The gunmen stormed Gora Gan village in Kaduna state after dark and opened fire on residents, said Elias Manza, administrative head of Zangon Kataf district.The attackers also torched houses, a church, a car and seven motorcycles.
“We have a total of 559 people who are afraid to go back to their homes and are sheltering in a primary school in the town of Zonkwa,” he said. There has been an upsurge in tit-for-tat killings between the two groups in recent times, prompting the state authorities to initiate an unsuccessful truce.
