Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has ordered a wide search for people who were kidnapped. Armed attackers raided villages in Niger State last Friday.
The attackers wore clothing that looked like military uniforms. They attacked mosques at the same time.
Hundreds of people were taken from these mosques. Videos showing people in captivity have been shared online.
The exact number of people taken is not yet known. The president has made it clear that finding the kidnapped people is a top priority.
Security forces are now working to track down the attackers and rescue the captives.
This incident has caused great worry across the country.
