AFP: Over 80 kidnapped in Nigeria attacks
The article addresses a new wave of kidnapping incidents in northern Nigeria, where armed gangs carried out two separate attacks over the weekend, kidnapping more than 80 people. On Saturday, assailants kidnapped at least 47 farmers in Niger State, while in Zamfara State on Sunday, 40 women were abducted. These local gangs are known as "bandits" and they carry out attacks on villages that the government describes as ongoing security threats. They often use motorcycles to commit abductions and looting, spreading fear among the population. The kidnappings are increasingly motivated by demands for ransom, which worsens the security situation in the region and leads to unrest and heightened security alerts.
