Attacks on two villages leave houses and church destroyed in area previously attacked by Boko Haram.
Gunmen have killed at least eight people and burned down a church in attacks on two villages in Nigeria's central Plateau state, a security official has said.
Officers said they were investigating who was behind the raids on Wednesday in Nigeria's "Middle Belt", where its largely Muslim north and Christian South meet - a common flashpoint for violence.
Boko Haram rebels based in the remote northeast showed their reach in May by setting off bombs in Plateau state's capital Jos, around 450km from their stronghold.
"Gunmen stormed the villages of Tanjol and Tashek ... this morning and shot sporadically in the air, then killed eight people," said Captain Iweha lkejichi, from the joint task force combining army and police.
"The attackers also burnt a church and several houses."
Amish?
The living God is watching. If one worships a rock...
Crazy stuff in Nigeria...
What’s going on with the Niger’s..
It certainly would be rewarding to ambush them - and plow them under for fertilizer.
How can this be? Clown Prince nobama won the Peace Prize. Under his “reign” there is peace on earth, no? The reporters must be lieing...or they are racist.
RIP.
