Four killed in Nigeria gun attacks
Gunmen suspected of being members of a radical Islamist sect have killed at least four people – including a six-year-old girl – in recent attacks in Nigeria’s volatile north-east, authorities said today.
In the north-eastern city of Potiskum, gunmen opened fire on a policeman and his family, killing the policeman’s six-year-old daughter, Yobe State police spokesman Toyin Gbadegeshin said.
