Gunmen attacked worship services at a university campus and a church in northern Nigeria, killing at least 21.
The deadlier attack targeted an old section of Bayero University's campus in Kano, with gunmen killing at least 16 people and wounding at least 22 others, according to the Nigerian Red Cross.
A later attack in the northeast city of Maiduguri saw gunmen open fire at a Church of Christ in Nigeria chapel, killing five people, including a pastor.
No group claimed responsibility, but the attacks bore similarities to others carried by a radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram.
