MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Gunmen from a radical Muslim sect attacked a town hall Friday in rural northeastern Nigeria, killing at least 20 people who had gathered for a meeting of a Christian ethnic group, police said.
The attack targeted a town hall where Christian Igbo people were holding a meeting, with gunmen chanting “God is great” as they fired rifles.
The killings claimed by Boko Haram come after the group threatened to begin targeting Christians living in the country’s Muslim north in its increasingly bloody sectarian fight with Nigeria’s weak central government.
