Boko Haram has now Freed some of the Kidnapped Ladies

The Boko Haram insurgents, who reportedly abducted about 50 ladies and girls from two border villages between Adamawa and Borno states have freed the matured ladies among their captives.

This was disclosed in an interview by villagers, who spoke on the issue with newsmen on the phone from their hide-outs. They however, said that the exact number of those released could not be ascertained, but that no fewer than 45 new girls were still being detained.

Relatives of some of the abducted ladies who were later released by the insurgents also, told newsmen in Yola that some of the girls have been turned to cooks while others were married off immediately to some of the insurgents.

A relative to the one of the women who spoke on the condition of anonymity said; ”Initially, the insurgents captured 80 girls and women whom they later loaded into their vans and zoomed off into the bushes.

"Later in the night, the insurgents separated the women from the girls and released the women, who are now languishing in the forest because they could not relocate the towns because they were razed down by the insurgents.

“We are confused that hours after the so called cease fire agreement between the Federal Government and Boko Haram insurgents, our girls are still being abducted by the insurgents.

“We are at a loss about government’s insincerity on the whole issue and we urge them to rescue our daughters without further delay as we are ready to die searching for our missing ones.”
