No fewer than 40 Muslim worshippers were abducted by armed bandits while observing Tahajjud, a kind of midnight prayer observed during the Holy Month of Ramadan, at a mosque in Jibiya town of Katsina State.
It was gathered that dozens of gunmen struck at the mosque around 2 am on Monday and took away the worshippers.
It was gathered that the kidnappers initially picked 47 congregants, including women and children, but seven later returned.
