Nigeria: more than 100 women missing after mass kidnapping in the North. Anti-jihadist militia leaders accuse the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWAP) of being behind the attack.
The attack took place last week in rural Ngala, Nigeria, but many details remain unclear, including the exact number of people missing. In early February, at least 35 women returning from a wedding were kidnapped by armed men in the northwestern state of Katsina. Kidnappings in Nigeria, often for ransom, are a major problem and affect the entire country.
