Gunmen kidnapped at least 52 people, including children, in a weekend attack on a village in northwest Nigeria’s Zamfara state, local sources told AFP on Monday.
“Initially, they abducted more than 100 people,” before letting some go, ultimately retaining 52, said Shehu Abullahi, a resident of Kasuwar Daji whose 12-year-old daughter was among those kidnapped.
A second resident confirmed the toll while the Nigerian army said an “unspecified” number of villagers were taken.
