Six Imams Kidnapped in Northern Nigeria
Six imams were kidnapped in Zamfara State in northern Nigeria by armed militants operating in the area. Their vehicle was headed toward the home of Senator Abdulaziz Abubakar Yar, as part of a religious gathering. The armed groups active in the region utilize kidnapping for ransom as a source of income. Security forces are conducting intensive sweeps to apprehend the perpetrators and rescue the victims.
