ABUJA (Reuters) – At least 46 people, including women and children, were kidnapped in a raid on Gana town in Nigeria’s northwest Zamfara state, residents and a local traditional leader said on Tuesday.
The attack, which follows a similar mass kidnapping in the state last month, occurred at around 2200 GMT on Sunday, with dozens of gunmen on motorbikes unleashing a barrage of gunfire on the community and setting fire to several homes and businesses, residents said.
