Gunmen Abduct Over 150 Worshippers in Attacks on Three Nigerian Churches

Gunmen abducted over 150 worshippers during simultaneous attacks on three churches in Kurmin Wali, Kaduna state, Nigeria, on Sunday, according to a local lawmaker. As of Monday, 168 people remained missing after 11 returned. No group has claimed responsibility, and police have not commented. Such attacks are frequent in northern Nigeria, where security is limited. The U.S. has linked similar incidents to Islamic State activity, while the Nigerian government denies claims of a targeted Christian genocide.
