No fewer than 30 villagers were Monday kidnapped in Kutunku village in Wushishi Local Government Area of Niger State.
A reliable source told THISDAY on telephone that the heavily armed bandits stormed the village on foot and rounded up the villagers.
The bandits were said to have hidden their motorcycles in an orchard close to the village and from there trekked to their target, a development that did not arouse the suspicion of the villagers until it was late.
“They forced them to trek along with them to their camp,” the source said, adding that the bandits are yet to contact families of those kidnapped.
