Gunmen killed at least 30 people in an attack on a mosque in northwestern Nigeria earlier this week, according to a resident and a lawmaker, with another 20 people killed in neighbouring villages.
“Bandits”, as members of criminal gangs are locally known, struck a mosque in the town of Unguwar Mantau, in Katsina state’s Malumfashi local government area on Tuesday, with a conflict monitor reporting an initial toll of 13 dead.
