More than 1100 students have been kidnapped from their schools and colleges in the area since December 2020.

Group kidnappings have become increasingly used by armed gangs aiming to secure a ransom.

Zamfara is one of 4 states northwest of Nigeria that have taken precautions in order to contain the security crisis, banning the sale of fuel in cans and the transport of wood in trucks in the hopes that this would disrupt the activity of gangs that roam the streets on motorcycles and camp out in the woods.
