Motorcycle Riding Gunmen Kill Couple, Kid In Kano

Two motorcycle-riding gunmen have killed a Christian couple and their child as they were on their way to church on Sunday in Kano, police and residents said.

“Two gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on the car, killing the woman and her child on the spot while her husband died later in hospital,” Kano State police spokesman Magaji Majia told AFP.

He said the couple’s other child escaped unhurt in the shooting in the Kwanar Masallachi neighbourhood on the outskirts of the city.

Residents said the victims were Christians on their way to church for the Sunday service when they met their untimely end.
