Boko Haram Abducts 50 Women In Adamawa State

BOKO Haram militants have captured about 50 women from Gulak, Adamawa State, some of those who escaped reported on Sunday.

A resident said he got news of the abduction while hiding in a village near Gulak, before his escape on Monday.

He said the victims, including married women, were loaded into trucks and taken away.

Another resident of Husra village in Michika Local Government Area of the state, said able-bodied young men had been conscripted into the sect.

“They conducted preaching sessions to attract converts to their sect, but people only listened out of fear. The next day, they asked if anybody wanted to join them but there was no response, so they selected healthy young men and ordered them to follow them,” he said.

A security source also said “they (sect members) often called women to collect food items at the secretariat of Madagali council in Gulak.”
