Kajuru (Nigeria) (AFP) – Residents of northern Nigeria’s Kaduna state say kidnappers surrounded their village, beating up people, as more than 170 Christian worshippers were abducted from churches during Sunday services. The kidnapping by gangs known as “bandits” marks the latest in a wave of mass abductions targeting both Christians and Muslims in Nigeria. “They took them from church on Sunday around 10am in the morning,” says the mother of a kidnapped victim.
