Armed Men Abduct 28 Muslim Travellers, Including Women and Children, in Plateau State Armed men kidnapped 28 people, including women and children, in Plateau State, Nigeria, while they were traveling to an annual Islamic event. The ambush occurred on Sunday night between villages, and families of the victims have begun receiving ransom demands. Police confirmed that they had deployed security assets to the area to rescue the hostages. The incident comes a day after the release of 130 schoolchildren and teachers abducted from a Catholic boarding school in Niger State. Authorities noted that the Plateau abduction is separate from the ongoing Islamist insurgency in northeastern Nigeria and emphasized that trained forest guards would support army operations to curb the growing kidnapping crisis. #PlateauState #NigeriaKidnapping #BanditryInNigeria #RansomDemands #WomenAndChildrenAbducted #NigerianSecurity #IslamicEventAbduction #NigeriaNews
