KANO: Attackers have stormed a church service in an area of Nigeria's volatile northeast and killed 15 people in the latest such violence targeting Christians in recent days, an official said Monday.

Nigeria's military however denied the attack, with a spokesman issuing a statement saying that while he was not present in the area where it was said to have occurred, "all my enquiries indicated that nothing like that happened."
