More than 100 people, including women and children, remain missing in Nigeria’s northwestern Zamfara state over a week after being abducted by unidentified bandits who raided four villages in the region, according to reports.
Over 40 people were abducted from Kanwa village in Zurmi Council, another 37, mostly women and children, from Kwabre village in the same council, and 38 people from Yankaba and Gidan Goga villages in Maradun Council, Nigerian newspaper The Guardian reported.
“Kanwa village is deserted, the bandits divided themselves into two groups and attacked the community. They kidnapped children aged 14 to 16 and women,” a villager was quoted as saying.
