notes: On 3 March 2021, a suspected Zamfara communal militia invaded Tungar Baushe community (Maru LGA, Zamfara), abducting at least 50 residents, including women and children. Militiamen also set two vehicles ablaze loaded with grains and other valuables. Government sources report that the attack was a reprisal attack and that no casualties were reported. Community sources on the other hand report that the attack was as a result of residents' refusal to pay militiamen a fixed levy to avoid being attacked.
