No fewer than 80 children were Friday morning abducted by bandits in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, IgbereTV has learned.
According to a BBC Hausa report, the children are between the ages of 12 and 17.
Some parents of the abducted children who spoke to the British broadcaster 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.
