In yet another troubling incident in Zamfara State, armed men have reportedly kidnapped no fewer than 50 people, including women and children, in the Maradun Local Government Area.
Witnesses say the attackers stormed the community, operating unchallenged for hours. While no official statement has been released by security agencies, local sources attribute the attack to bandit groups that have long plagued the region.
As of now, the families of the victims have received no word from the kidnappers, deepening fears and uncertainty. Kidnappings have become an all-too-familiar occurrence in northwestern Nigeria, with victims often freed only after hefty ransom payments.
This latest incident underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures to curb the rising tide of abductions and restore safety to the region.
