BBC:
Gunmen have attacked a church in north-east Nigeria, killing at least six people, the church’s pastor says.
Johnson Jauro said the killings took place when gunmen burst into his Deeper Life Church in Gombe, capital of Gombe state.
He said his wife was among those killed. Ten other people were injured.
Nigeria has recently experienced a surge in ethnic and sectarian violence. The government declared a state of emergency in parts of the country.
“The attackers started shooting sporadically. They shot through the window of the church, and many people were killed including my wife,” Mr Jauro told Reuters news agency.
“Many members who attended the church service were also injured.”
No group has said it carried out the attack, but the Islamist sect Boko Haram recently carried out a string of bombings on Christmas Day, including against a church in the capital, Abuja, which killed dozens of people.
Earlier this week, Nina Shea noted reports that Christians were warned by Boko Haram to leave the country by today.
