Not less than 14 worshippers were reportedly abducted in a mosque by gunmen after an attack in Giwa LGA of Kaduna state, Northwest Nigeria.

Gatekeepers News reports that the armed gang raided the mosque during the evening prayers (Ishai prayer).

The gunmen were said to have been trying to invade the village, but the vigilante group in the area prevented them from gaining access.

Speaking on the attack, a resident said: “The gunmen divided themselves, while some were operating at the mosque, others moved from house to house thereby abducting more than ten women.

“Some of them were however busy carting away domestic animals such as cows, sheep and goats numbering hundreds.”
