A large number of herdsmen raided predominantly Christian Ambe village, Sanga County, at about midnight as residents were sleeping, said Zachariah Sanga.
"They were armed with deadly weapons like guns, machetes, and cudgels," Sanga told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. "The herdsmen on arrival shot into houses and at anyone they sighted."
Along with the six Christians slain, eight others were also wounded, he said.
Daniel Amos, a member of Nigeria's National Assembly, confirmed in a press statement on Monday (May 6) that six innocent people were killed, and that eight others were wounded and receiving medical treatment. CT.
