No fewer than 19 people have been kidnapped by gunmen in Ogu and Tegina communities in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.
Ogu is a settlement close to Wayam about two kilometres away from Kagara, headquarters of Rafi Local Government Council of the State.
A senior aide to the Executive Chairman, Rafi Local Government who craved for anonymity in a brief interview by telephone with our reporter, on Monday, in Minna confirmed the incident.
The source, however, could not ascertain details on the attacks and had to place a telephone call to a resident in the affected community for more information.
