Over 50 Kidnapped by Armed Bandits in Northwest Nigeria
Armed men have kidnapped dozens of women and children in the village of Kafin Dawa, Zamfara State, northwest Nigeria. The attackers, carrying assault rifles, went door to door, abducting over 50 individuals, according to local residents. This incident is part of a broader pattern of kidnappings for ransom by bandits in the region, driven by poverty and the availability of illegal firearms. Police have increased security in response to the attack.
