Nigeria New Year's Day massacre
Port Harcourt 2 Jan (ANA) - Gunmen opened fire on worshippers walking back from church in the early hours of New Year's Day in Nigeria's oil-rich southern Rivers state, killing 16 people, police spokesman Omoni Nnamdi has to the BBC. Many people were also wounded in the attack in the Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni area, about 85 km (53 miles) from the oil city of Port Harcourt, he added. The motive for the attack is unclear, and police are still hunting for the gunmen.(ANA)
