At least 20 people were killed as gunmen opened fire on Muslim worshippers coming out of a mosque in northern Nigeria's Kaduna state today.

The attack happened in a remote village called Dogo Dawa. A witness said the attack was most likely carried out by a local criminal gang.

"Recently, the local vigilante group had attacked some hoodlums in an area of the state killing some in the process. It is speculated that this could be a reprisal by the group, he said. Religiously divided Kaduna has seen waves of sectarian violence in recent months.
