At least 18 people were killed on Thursday following a gunmen attack in Nigeria's northwestern Zamfara State, police sources said.

An armed gang ambushed a group of local villagers in Zamfara’s Birani village and killed 18 locals, police spokesman Muhammad Shehu said.

“Local people were attacked by unidentified gunmen and a security investigation has launched about the incident,” he said.

Recently, five more people were killed three days ago in Plateau province.
