Lagos - More than 20 people were killed and scores injured in an attack on a central Nigerian village by an ethnic Hausa-Fulani militia, police said yesterday. The militia attacked Dagwom Turu village in Plateau State on Sunday.
Police said it was an apparent reprisal attack for the killing of ethnic Hausa-Fulani in religious riots in September, when more than 500 people were killed in three days of Christian-Muslim fighting in the city of Jos, Plateau state capital, and surrounding districts.
