Armed Bandits Abduct Over 150 Civilians, Mostly Women and Children, in Zamfara Villages

Gunmen attacked the villages of Kurfa Ɗanya and Kurfan Magaji in Zamfara State late Thursday night. They seized more than 150 residents, most of them women and children. Villagers say they live in constant fear, bracing for new attacks as the crisis deepens. Local authorities claim to be addressing the insecurity, but recent abductions and killings suggest the efforts fall short. A federal lawmaker confirmed the incident to a national broadcaster, highlighting the dire situation in one of Nigeria’s most neglected conflicts.
