Kano - Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram Islamists stormed a packed viewing centre in Nigeria's restive northeast and shot dead two people watching Champions League matches, police said Thursday.
The centre was showing the two quarter-final matches between defending champions Bayern Munich and Manchester United, and Atletico Madrid-Barcelona, on Wednesday when it was attacked.
"The gunmen came in a car and opened fire outside the viewing centre and sped off," Yobe State police commissioner Sanusi Rufa'i told AFP of the incident in Potiskum, a hotbed of the insurgency.
"One person died on the spot while another died later at the hospital. Several other people were injured, some critically," he added.
