Global human rights body, the Amnesty International has reported that at least 1,100 people were abducted between January and April 2026 as President Bola Tinubu’s administration fails to protect Nigerians from a worsening wave of kidnappings and mass abductions across the northern part of the country.

President Bola Tinubu says more than 13,000 terrorists had been neutralised in the past year as part of intensified efforts to combat insecurity across the country.
