Bandits on Monday night struck at a mosque in Gusau, Zamfara State capital, abducting numerous worshippers during the Tahajjud congregational prayer.
Tahajjud prayer is a vigil normally held in the last 10 days of Ramadan preceeding Eid-el-Ftr.
According to a source, Mannir, the attackers stormed the mosque during the night prayer and kidnapped the worshippers
Mannir, however, expressed uncertainty about the exact number of persons taken as captives.
“While the number of abducted individuals remains unconfirmed, authorities are actively pursuing the assailants,” Mannir added.
As at the time of this report, no ransom demand has been made, and no group has claimed responsibility for the audacious attack, adding to the prevailing sense of insecurity in the North-West.
