Gunmen attacked and killed three Ibo Christian men in Azare town, Bauchi State, at around 6pm on Monday.
Sources said one of the victims was followed to his house. All were questioned about their faith before they were shot.
Two others were also killed this morning in Sho village, Barkin Ladi, a Christian area near the Plateau state capital of Jos. They were named as Thoma Jatau and Ezekiel Gyang.
This killing followed an incident in Barkin Ladi on Monday night in which eight people were shot dead. Several others were injured and taken to hospital.
