At least 22 persons were feared killed on Saturday as armed persons attacked travellers in Gada-biyu along the Jos-Zaria road in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
A report by the Daily Nigerian newspaper said the attack, which occurred at 10 a.m., also left many other passengers injured.
The victims were said to be followers of Dahiru Bauchi, a Kaduna-based Islamic cleric.
The attackers reportedly ambushed the entourage, returning from Islamic New Year prayers organised by the cleric in Bauchi State.
