At least 15 people have been killed in a gun attack on a church in central Nigeria, officials say.
Gunmen stormed the church in the Okene area of Kogi state and fired on worshipers, they say.
"I can confirm 15 [dead]," a spokesman for Kogi state governor Jacob Edi is quoted by AFP as saying.
It is not clear who carried out the attack but militant Islamist group Boko Haram has carried out numerous raids on churches and other targets in Nigeria.
