Gunmen kill four in Nigeria's troubled north
KANO, Nigeria (AFP) - Gunmen in Nigeria's troubled
north killed two policemen and two civilians
wounded in the separate attacks died later,
witnesses said onSaturday.

In northern Nigeria's largest city Kano, two
gunmen on Saturday shot dead an official of the
secret police, Aminu Isa, and fled, a resident
told AFP.

Isa's friend was shot in both legs and later died
in the hospital, said the witness, speaking on
condition of anonymity.

Late on Friday, gunmen also shot dead a police
constable outside his house in Boriya district on
the outskirts of Potiskum, a major city in
northeastern Yobe state, a neighbour told AFP.

"A nearby drug vendor was also hit and injured by
the attackers' bullet," the neighbour said, that
the vendor died later.

No group has claimed responsibility for either
attack.
