Armed men kidnap dozens in coordinated attacks on Nigerian villages

Dozens of civilians were kidnapped in the attacks, with some reports indicating civilian casualties during the coordinated assaults on villages and a mosque.

On a Friday in Nigeria, armed men moved through multiple villages in a coordinated sweep, seizing dozens of civilians — some pulled from a mosque mid-prayer. The attacks, attributed to jihadist fighters, reflect a long and deepening wound in Nigeria's conflict-affected regions, where sacred spaces and ordinary days offer no reliable shelter. In the hours that followed, families waited with the particular anguish of not knowing, while the world was reminded that for many communities, vulnerability is not an exception but a condition of daily life.
