TL;DR
Gunmen abducted more than 50 children, many aged two to five, from three schools in Mussa, Borno state, taking them on motorcycles and reportedly using some as human shields; no group has claimed responsibility, but the attack echoes Boko Haram/ISWAP activity as security forces pursue the suspects and locals flee the area.
