Armed Groups in Nigeria Kidnap 100+ People in Kaduna
----------------------------------------------------

In Nigeria, armed groups kidnapped at least 100 people, including
children, in two separate attacks in Kaduna state. The mass abduction is
the latest attack following the separate kidnapping of nearly 300
students and staff from a school in the northwestern town of Kuriga
earlier this month. Abductions in Nigeria have become more frequent in
recent years, as armed groups target residents for large ransoms.
