At
least 11 people have been killed in a gun attack on a church in southern
Nigeria, police say.
Up to 18 other
worshippers were wounded in the early morning incident at the church in Ozubulu
near the city of Onitsha.
There were
conflicting reports over whether the attack was carried out by a lone gunman or
a group of attackers.
Police said the
shooting was the result of a feud between Nigerians from Ozubulu who were
living abroad.
Anambra State Police
Commissioner Garba Umar said the violence could be linked to drug-trafficking.
He said the gunman
had been hired to kill a local man who was believed to be in St Philip's
Catholic Church.
