Another Church shooting. 17 people dead.

Gunmen kill 17 at church service in Nigeria's River State

A Nigerian official says gunmen shot dead at least 17 worshippers who had attended a church service to usher in the new year.

The chairman of a local community group, Osi Olisa, said Tuesday that the gunmen also shot people on the road before escaping.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack in River State, though suspicion has fallen on an armed group believed to be behind kidnappings and killings in the area.

In November, local defense groups and security officials shot dead the group's leader.

Gun violence is common in parts of Nigeria's oil-producing Niger Delta region, where various militant groups take up arms against multinational companies to demand a share of the oil proceeds.

It’s unfortunate that you can’t even go to a place of worship without the fear of being killed

Nigeria needs to break up. Give the Muslims their own country in the north and call it a day.

Most likely drug/gang-related since it occurred in the South.
