Sixty-three women abducted by
Bokoharam from Kummabza village in
the Damboa Local Government Area of
Borno State two weeks ago have escaped
from their kidnappers.
The Federal Government denied the
abduction but the Borno State
Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, set
up an inquiry into the kidnap.
However, security sources and
eyewitnesses told journalists that 63 out
of the 70 abducted women had escaped
from captivity and made their way back
home.
Some residents of the villages where the
women were abducted told journalists
that the women who looked unkempt
returned home on Saturday.
One Adamu Suleiman, a member of the
youth vigilante group told Punch
“I have just received an alert from
my colleagues in Damboa area that
about 63 of the abducted women
and girls had made it back home.
They took to their heels when their
captors left them at the camp to go
for a major operation.We don’t
have the details of their escape yet,
but we believe God gave them the
opportunity at the time the
insurgents came in their large
numbers to attack Damboa on
Friday.We still believe seven
women could still be in the camp or
perhaps something must have
happened to them.”
