Lagos, Jumada I 3, 1437, Feb 12, 2016, SPA -- Six people were shot dead when gunmen attacked a passenger bus in northeastern Nigeria, a resident told dpa on Friday. The attackers struck Thursday on a highway near the town of Damboa, 40 kilometers from Chibok, Rabiu Inuwa told dpa. "Some of the dead passengers were shot inside the vehicle, while others were shot outside," Inuwa said. Locals say the highway is hardly used, due to the high risk of being attacked by Boko Haram members. --SPA 20:41 LOCAL TIME 17:41 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
