Some 160 Kuchi villagers kidnapped, 10 local hunters killed in Nigeria

Ten people have been killed and at least 160 other villagers have been kidnapped from a remote community in Nigeria's central Niger state, officials say.

A large number of armed men, suspected to be from Nigeria's militant Islamist group Boko Haram, invaded Kuchi village on Friday night, local official Aminu Abdulhamid Najume told the BBC's World Service.

Those kidnapped were mostly women and children, while those killed included local hunters who were providing security for the area, he said.
