JOS, NIGERIA (AFP)
An armed gang in central Nigeria's Plateau state killed at least 40 members of village self-defence groups in a weekend ambush and related attack, the Red Cross and residents told AFP on Tuesday.
State Red Cross secretary Nuruddeen Hussain Magaji said "hundreds of vigilantes were ambushed" Sunday in the village of Kukawa, killing 30. That attack came as they were regrouping after clashes in the nearby village of Bunyun Nyalum left 10 vigilantes dead, a resident said.
