In an interview with the villagers of the two border
villages between Adamawa and Borno State, attacked by B’Haram sect recently, it
was disclosed that they have freed the women among the captives while the girls
are still being detained. Vanguard reports:
According to the villagers, the women and girls were abducted
from Waga Mangoro which was between Gwoza in Borno and Madagali in Adamawa
states.
Relatives of some of the abducted women, 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 elderly 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 those 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.”
