A 74-second video, first reported by SaharaReporters on February 8, 2026, shows women pleading for help in the name of the Prophet Muhammad while enduring repeated attacks. Their identities, location, and the exact date of the abduction remain unconfirmed, and no statements have been issued by security agencies as of February 9.
The footage underscores Nigeria’s ongoing banditry crisis in the northwest, where armed groups continue to terrorize communities in states such as Zamfara, Sokoto, and Katsina. The incident has prompted widespread calls for urgent government intervention and rescue efforts.
