More than 50 people have been kidnapped in Zamfara state, north-west Nigeria, according to a UN conflict monitoring report. Armed bandits attacked Sabon Garin Damri village on Friday, marking the latest mass abduction in a region plagued by gangs. These groups routinely kidnap for ransom, loot villages, and demand taxes, highlighting a shift from land conflict to organized crime. The incident underscores the ongoing security crisis in the area, where rural residents are particularly vulnerable to banditry.
