Bandits kidnap four female farmers in Enugu
At least four women have been abducted in Ogurugu community in the Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State.
They were reportedly kidnapped on Tuesday when bandits suspected to be herders invaded the community.
Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area has become a hotbed of plethora of criminal and nefarious activities as herders and other local militias wreaked havoc on the beleaguered enclave.
Recently, some gunmen took over the Ogboli axis and Ogurugu community, kidnapping people, a community source told SaharaReporters on Thursday.
