According to BBC Hausa, the children, who are between the ages of 12 and 17, were kidnapped on Friday morning while fetching firewood in the bush.
Some parents of the abducted children said the victims were in the bush fetching firewood at about 8:00 a.m. when the assailants rounded them up and marched them away into the forest.
As of the time the BBC reported the kidnapping, the abductors had yet to contact the parents in order to make any demands.
Bandits’ activities have been on the increase in Zamfara despite government interventions to tackle the criminal activity. Hundreds of schoolchildren have been kidnapped and some later released upon payment of ransom.
