Gunmen have killed 36 gold miners in north-west Nigeria, police say. The attackers overran a mining camp in the Maru district of Zamfara state, in the latest in a series of similar raids in the region. The gunmen's motive is unclear. Zamfara governor Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar called the attack an "act of terrorism".
Sources said there was still no group that has claimed responsibility for the deadly assault, adding that the motive remained a mystery as well. Hundreds of people have been killed in villages in the area over the past three years.
