Deaths in Nigeria

According to Al-Jazeera, eight people are dead in Nigeria. Also, an Islamic school was torched to the ground.

The attackers sprayed a pub with bullets before escaping on a motorcycle.

While the attackers have not yet been determined they are believed to be a result of a recent fuel strike. 

A doctor said the victims included five policemen and a 10 year-old girl.
