Nigerian police on Monday confirmed eight people were killed in an attack perpetrated by gunmen at a village in the northwestern state of Katsina.
The attack occurred late Sunday in Shau village of the Faskari local government area of the state, said Gambo Isah, a spokesman for the police in Katsina.
