Armed Groups in Nigeria Kidnap 100+ People in Kaduna

HeadlineMar 19, 2024

In Nigeria, armed groups kidnapped at least 100 people, including children, in two separate attacks in Kaduna state. The mass abduction is the latest attack following the separate kidnapping of nearly 300 students and staff from a school in the northwestern town of Kuriga earlier this month. Abductions in Nigeria have become more frequent in recent years, as armed groups target residents for large ransoms.
