ABUJA: Some residents, estimated to be around 12 people, were kidnapped late Saturday when a group of gunmen stormed a community in Nigeria's northwestern state of Kaduna, police said on Sunday (Monday in Manila). Local police confirmed the attack in Zaria, a town in the northern state, but said they were still gathering the details. Mohammed Jalige, the spokesman for the police in Kaduna, told Xinhua by telephone that 'there were abductions, but I cannot say for now the number of people that were abducted during the attack.'
