Gunmen kill 11 villagers in northern Nigeria
Eleven villagers were killed on Sunday in an armed attack in Nigeria's northern Katsina state, according to police.
Armed men arrived on motorcycles in the afternoon at the Tsatskiya village, firing at random.
Eleven villagers lost their lives in the attack, three people were injured, and hundreds fled their homes.
Katsina State Police spokesman Isah Gambo confirmed the attack and said security forces had been dispatched to the area.
The use of motorcycles has been banned in some states in Nigeria due to recent attacks in the country by gunmen.
