(AhlulBayt News Agency) - On Christmas Eve, six people were killed when gunmen stormed Ungwan Mailafiya, they said.
The killings followed an attack in nearby Nindem late Friday where gunmen opened fire on a congregation, killing four and injuring 10, said a local lawmaker.
“While we were mourning the deaths at Nindem ... the security personnel received distress calls of another attack at Ungwan Mailafiya”, parliamentarian Shehu Nicholas Garba said in a statement.
“By daybreak on Christmas, six persons had been confirmed killed, including a child of about six years old, and many others injured,” he said.
A spokesperson from the state government said troops had been deployed to prevent further violence.
