Gunmen opened fire on Muslim worshippers as they were leaving a mosque in northern Nigeria today, 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.
The state police commissioner Olufemi Adenaike confirmed the incident, but did not give a death toll.
