JOS Nigeria (Reuters) - At least 18 people were killed when gunmen stormed a village in the northern Nigerian state of Kaduna overnight, a police spokesman said on Tuesday, the latest in daily bloody attacks that have racked Africa's most populous country.

The gunmen raided the village in southern Kaduna - part of Nigeria's volatile "middle belt" where the mostly Christian south and largely Muslim north meet - late on Monday night, spokesman Aminu Lawan told Reuters.
