More than 100 people, including children, were abducted in Zamfara, a northwestern Nigerian state, last Sunday. This is an example of a common occurrence in the area, wherein gangs use a tactic of kidnapping people and demanding ransom. The Nigerian Air Force has launched strikes on these groups, though it has been alleged that hostages have been used as human shields in these attacks. They also have been controversial because of findings the strikes caused civilian deaths, leading to a "review" by the Air Force.
