Many of the kidnapped locals were working on their farmlands when the gunmen invaded the farm.
The outlaws have wreaked havoc across northwest Nigeria in the past two years, kidnapping thousands, killing hundreds, and making it unsafe to travel by road or farm in some areas.
Despite the non-stop bombing of terrorist enclaves by Nigerian security agents, the criminals have not ceased to launch deadly attacks and take innocent civilians hostage.
