Armed men have kidnapped 28 people travelling to an annual Islamic event in Nigeria's central Plateau state, local sources have told the BBC.
The victims, including women and children, were ambushed in their bus on Sunday night as it was driving between villages.
News of the abductions comes just a day after the Nigerian authorities announced the release of the remaining 130 schoolchildren and teachers from a separate mass kidnapping at a Catholic boarding school in Niger state last month.
A journalist based in Plateau state said the families of the latest victims had begun receiving ransom demands.
The perpetrators are not known and the authorities have yet to comment.
