  • At least 1,400 students have so far been kidnapped from Nigerian schools since the first major school abduction, in Borno state’s Chibok village in 2014
  • Unlike the Chibok girls, who were seized by Islamic militants from the Boko Haram group, no religious motive is suspected in the most recent abductions
