Gunmen kill 15 people in multiple attacks in northwest Nigeria's Kaduna state, a government official says

The gunmen raided Rafin Sarki village in Giwa district "with 11 locals confirmed killed" —10 men and a woman, he added. The conflict is compounded by sometimes deadly clashes between nomadic cattle herders and local farmers over grazing and water rights, which have assumed ethnic and religious dimensions.Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari is under intense pressure to end the violence before he leaves office next year at the end of his eight-year tenure.
