The “herdsmen” are Fulani, who are Islamic jihadis endeavoring to establish a caliphate in West Africa.
“Herdsmen attack bus, kill passenger, abduct 8 others in Delta,” by Ochuko Akuopha, Vanguard, April 6, 2023:
HOODLUMS, suspected to be herdsmen have attacked a Toyota Siena bus, killing one passenger and abducting eight others between Ndemili and Oliogo communities, Ndokwa West Local Government Area, Delta State.
It was gathered that the vehicle was conveying the passengers from Onitsha, Anambra State on Wednesday when it was ambushed and attacked at about 5 pm by the hoodlums.
A source said the deceased passenger was shot and died on the spot while the others were whisked into the bush by their abductors.
Confirming the incident yesterday, Police Public Relations Officer of the State Command, Mr Bright Edafe said the attack was carried out by “hoodlums suspected to be kidnappers.”…

In this case, the term abduct sends shivers and feelings of revulsion.

I feel that being dead would be better than being taken by these “herdsmen” a.k.a. mozlum terrorists.
Probably why they didn’t kill more of the victims.

When I was a young lad my Fathers older Sister volunteered and went every year to Africa to help out. Nigeria and other places there. She would come back and tell stories and I would think, man, wow, those people really need help. Over 50 years later and it has become worse.

tgusa,
Yes, increasingly dangerous for Westerners wanting to “help out” in places like Nigeria.

Always look forward to the holy season of Ramabomb where radical activists get to slaughter fellow citizens of the earth with relative impunity for the crime of disagreeing with their interpretation of an ancient text. I must say, these are my kinda neighbors.
