Armed gangs in Nigeria attack 2 villages, capture 100
Fox News
Armed gangs in northwestern Nigeria attacked two villages, capturing at least 100 people, residents and a state official claimed Monday.
Kaduna state is where nearly 300 schoolchildren were abducted less than two weeks ago. The latest kidnappings, like the previous one, have been blamed on bandit groups known for mass killings and kidnappings in Nigeria's northwestern and central regions. Most of the bandits were previously herders in conflict with local communities.
The kidnappers attacked the Dogon Noma community early Saturday and abducted 14 women, then attacked the Kajuru-Station community on Sunday night and seized 87 people, Stingo said.
