Gunmen in Nigeria have abducted at least eight people from a hospital in the northwest of the country, police say.
The attack took place at the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Centre in Zaria early on Sunday morning.
Reports say the number of people taken by the group is higher and includes nurses and children.
There has been a recent spate of abductions from schools and universities for ransom.
Police said the gunmen, thought to be from criminal groups known locally as "bandits", opened fire on a police station in the city.
While they were engaged in the shootout, another group attacked the hospital.
