Video shows mass detentions in Nigeria
Armed militants in Niger State in north-central Nigeria carried out a mass kidnapping operation involving around 600 people, including women, children, and the elderly, during an attack on a mosque. A video footage was circulated showing the kidnapping operations and individuals lying on the ground in forests, with the sound of children's screams in the background. Locals have expressed their concern over the recurrence of kidnapping incidents aimed at demanding ransoms, while the police have not independently confirmed the number of kidnapped individuals or responded to requests for comment. This attack comes two days after a similar assault on worshippers during Friday prayers, with residents calling on authorities to secure the release of the abductees amid the deteriorating security situation in the region.
