Gunmen have killed at least 20 people in a dawn attack in a remote village prone to bandit attacks, in northern Nigeria's Kaduna State, reports say.
Unconfirmed reports said those killed were mainly worshippers leaving a mosque in the village of Dogo Dawa.
No group has yet admitted the attack, and reports said it may have been carried out by robbers.
Kaduna state is plagued by an insurgency led by the militant Islamist sect Boko Haram.
The group has often targeted security forces, government officials and Christians, but has sometimes attacked Muslims who do not follow its hardline brand of Islam.
