Earlier this month we marked the 10th anniversary of the kidnapping of the Chibok girls.
It was one of the first mass kidnappings of children witnessed in Nigeria. In 2014, 276 girls were abducted from their school by militants from Chibok, a town in the country’s north east.
Over the past 10 years, mass abductions and kidnappings have become a common occurrence in Nigeria.

In today’s Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to Mohammed Idris, Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation.
