Gunmen kill at least 46 people in attack on rural village in Nigeria

Death toll may rise as many people are still missing after attack in northern-central Benue state

Forty-six bodies have been found after gunmen attacked a rural village in central northern Nigeria, local government officials said, the latest in a series of deadly assaults in the region.

The attack happened on Wednesday in Umogidi in Benue state, where tit-for-tat clashes are common between nomadic herders and settled farmers competing for land and resources.
