Boko Haram: Scores Of Women Abducted In Borno

The Boko Haram terrorist group, on Tuesday, abducted some women along Pulka road in Gwoza local government area, Borno state.

It was learnt that the victims were on their way to a neighbouring local government when the insurgents attacked the bus they were in.

According to The Cable, one of the passengers on a vehicle that was attacked, Muhammed Buba, said many people sustained injuries in the attempt to escape.

He, however, did not say if anyone was killed but added that there were sporadic gunshots from different directions during the attack.

Narrating the incident, Idrissa Hamisu, another victim, said the insurgents came in two Toyota Hilux buses.

“Many who were caught in the attack were women who lacked the strength to run away. The incident occurred around on Tuesday,” he said.

“I don’t know if the soldiers were able to save the passengers but many women were abducted in the attack,” he said.

The army is however yet to respond to the incident.
