Bandits Kidnap Over 80 Children in Zamfara

Bandits have abducted over 80 children in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

The children, who are between the ages of 12 and 17, were kidnapped on Friday morning.

Some parents of the abducted children who spoke to BBC News said the victims were in the bush fetching firewood at about 8:00 a.m. when the assailants rounded them up and marched them away into the forest.

The abductors are yet to reach the parents to make any demands as of the time BBC reported the kidnap.
