Two young Dambe boxers fight during the Dambe Warriors Tournament held in Lagos on March 2, 2018. Dambe, a brutal style of fighting where one wrapped fist is a designated spear and the other a shield, is traditionally practised by Hausas in Nigeria's north, but on this night the fight was in the southern city of Lagos. The attempt to introduce Dambe to the megacity's elite was notable less for the fighting than as a showcase of Nigeria's complexity. (Photo by Stefan Heunis/AFP Photo)

Hassana Mohammed, 13, who scaled a fence to escape an alleged Boko Haram attack on her Government Girls Science and Technical College, stands outside her home in Dapchi, Nigeria, on February 22, 2018. Anger erupted in a town in remote northeast Nigeria on February 22 after officials fumbled to account for scores of schoolgirls from the college who locals say have been kidnapped by Boko Haram jihadists. Police said on February 21 that 111 girls from the college were unaccounted for following a jihadist raid late on February 19. Hours later, Abdullahi Bego, spokesman for Yobe state governor Ibrahim Gaidam, said “some of the girls” had been rescued by troops “from the terrorists who abducted them”. But on a visit to Dapchi on Thursday, Gaidam appeared to question whether there had been any abduction. (Photo by Aminu Abubakar/AFP Photo)
