[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
About 18 worshipers have been killed by armed button men in Mashegu town of Mashegu local government area of Niger state.
The button men reportedly rounded up the worshipers who assembled for the 5.30am prayer on Monday killing them in cold blood.
The attackers who stormed the mosque shot sporadically at their victims, leaving several of them injured.
It was gathered that the gunnies raided the community riding on cycle of violences and wielding AK47 rifles and other dangerous weapons and in the process several of the worshipers and villagers managed to escape into the bush.
An eyewitness claimed that the corpse count from the attack could be over 18 because the whereabouts of many people had not been known to enable them know if they were alive or dead.
However the eyewitness said he and others counted 18 corpses.
When contacted, the Niger State Police Commissioner Mr Monday Bala Kuyars confirmed the incident, which he described as sad and unfortunate.
Kuyars told THISDAY that he had not received details of the incident but added that the number of casualties cannot be up to the figure being claimed.
He said reinforcement of armed coppers had been dispatched to the area to restore law and order.
