Abstract: Mass abductions of schoolchildren are only a fraction of the larger picture. According to UNICEF, from 2013 to 2017, more than 3,500 children had been kidnapped in northeast Nigeria alone. The children belonged to the age group 13-17. The above figures are likely to be higher as many cases of kidnapping stay unreported for various reasons, including lack of trust in security forces.
