A week after the bloody attack on the Catholic church in Owo, a group was attacked in Nigeria on their way to a wedding reception, with the kidnapping of about fifty people. This time the attack took place in the north east of the country, in a territory between the states of Sokoto and Zamfara. The Nigerian authorities describe the Zamfara area as the favorite of armed groups, defined as “bandits”, specializing in looting the population and kidnapping for ransom. Some members of the party managed to escape and said that the commando attacked the convoy last night on the road between Sokoto and Gusau, making all the kidnapped board a bus.
