At least 27 worshippers were killed and several were injured early on Tuesday when armed bandits stormed a mosque in northern Nigeria’s Katsina state during morning prayers, the village head and a hospital official said.

Gunmen opened fire inside a mosque as Muslims gathered to pray at around 04:00 GMT in the remote community of Unguwan Mantau in Malumfashi local government area, residents said.
