In a distressing development, a group of bandits launched an assault on a mosque located in Gusau, the capital city of Zamfara State, resulting in the abduction of numerous worshippers.
The incident occurred during the early hours of Tuesday as the Muslim community gathered for the Tahajjud prayer, a significant nightly prayer performed during the last ten days of Ramadan.
The Tahajjud is known for its spiritual significance and is observed by devout Muslims seeking additional blessings during the holy month.
