Hundreds of Nigerian people take to the streets in the northwestern state of Kaduna to protest against kidnapping and banditry. Demonstrators held placards and blocked roads. They called for help to put an end to recurring attacks and kidnappings in the region. Armed bandits have made an industry of kidnapping for ransom in northwest Nigeria. They have abducted around 1,000 children in school raids across the country since December last year. While most have been freed through negotiations with local officials, over 150 are still missing.
