Nigeria: Gunmen kidnap 11 women and children from village in western Kwara state | DW News

In Nigeria, another major abduction has taken place. Authorities say gunmen have taken 11 women and children captive from a village in western Kwara state. It's near the site where kidnappers took at least 35 people a week earlier. Police say they're searching for the attackers. Nigeria is grappling with a long-running crisis involving both kidnapping for ransom and jihadist violence. US President Donald Trump has threatened military action to protect Christians, such as the 300 children seized from a Catholic School last week. But many of the victims of the attacks are also Muslim, and Nigeria's government rejects the US narrative.
