KADUNA, Nigeria — Gunmen suspected to be armed robbers have killed 20 people in a village in the northwest Nigerian state of Zamfara, authorities said on Wednesday, a similar attack to one in June. Dozens of men armed with guns stormed Kaburu village early Tuesday morning, demanding money before shooting and hacking people to death, local residents said. “They were all shot to death while the village head was slaughtered with a sword,” local government spokesman Salihu Anga told Reuters by phone. At least 27 people were killed in June when suspected armed robbers attacked several villages in Zamfara. — Reuters
