More than 50 people have been abducted by armed assailants in Nigeria’s Zamfara State, according to a report cited by Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Sunday.
The incident occurred on Friday when gunmen attacked the village of Sabon-Garin-Damri, located in the northwestern region of the country.
The information was based on a report prepared for the United Nations by security analysts tracking violence in Nigeria.
Zamfara State, along with other parts of northwestern Nigeria, continues to face persistent attacks from heavily armed criminal groups often referred to as bandits. These groups are known for carrying out mass abductions for ransom and raiding rural communities.
The worsening security situation has raised concerns among humanitarian organizations and international observers, especially as violence spreads beyond isolated areas and disrupts local livelihoods.
