Attackers from a secretive cult with links to pagan movements ambushed and killed as many as 46 police officers in central Nigeria
A detachment of 60 policemen were on their way to arrest the leader of the Ombatse militia when the group's fighters launched their attack.
At least 23 officers were killed and many were still missing, said Abayomi Akeremale, the police commissioner of Nasarawa State, which lies on the nominal border between Nigeria's Christian south and its Muslim north.
