Armed assailants attacked farmers in Goron Namaye, Zamfara State, northwest Nigeria, killing at least 17 and injuring another 13 who were working in their fields. Although no group has claimed responsibility for the attack that occurred on Friday, local officials noted an increase in such armed band attacks recently.
