Fourth child kidnapped in Nigeria
Gunmen smashed a window and grabbed a three-year-old from his father’s Mercedes four-wheel drive vehicle today, bringing to four the number of children kidnapped for ransom in Nigeria’s oil-rich south.
The boy, Samuel, is the son of a prominent town chief – a troubling indication that the lucrative ransoms gangs demand in exchange for kidnapped foreigners may be inspiring copycat abductions of the children of well-to-do Nigerian families.
