Gunmen in Nigeria kidnapped nearly three dozen people across three attacks over the weekend, security sources said Monday, as authorities face renewed scrutiny over mass abductions in recent weeks.
According to a security report prepared for the United Nations and seen by AFP, armed groups known as "bandits" in northwest Nigeria kidnapped "at least 25 residents" in twin assaults on the villages of Unguwar Tsamiya and Dabawa in Kano state.
