Armed bandits kidnapped 10 people, including a nursing mother and her week-old baby in an attack on Zurmi town, the headquarters of Zamfara State’s Zurmi county.
Invaders stormed the village around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday from different directions, firing gunshots indiscriminately, according to media reports. Villagers ran helter-skelter to evade being killed and being captured and taken away as hostages.
