Boko Haram Kidnaps Another 400 Young Women

In the face of claims by the Presidency and military that they've defeated Boko Haram, the terrorists have kidnapped more than 400 women and children from the northern Nigerian town of Damasak that was freed this month by troops from Niger and Chad.

“They (insurgents) took 506 young women and children (in Damasak). They killed about 50 of them before leaving. We don’t know if they killed others after leaving, but they took the rest with them,” a trader called Souleymane Ali told Reuters in the town.

Ali said his wife and three of his daughters were among those kidnapped...
“Two of them were supposed to get married this year. (Boko Haram) said 'They are slaves so we’re taking them because they belong to us'.”

Troops of the African joint force last week found the bodies of at least 70 people in an apparent execution site under a bridge leading out of Damasak, where the streets remained strewn with debris and burnt-out cars after the fighting.

Mohamed Ousmane, another trader, said the militants took his two wives and three of their children.


A 40-year-old resident who gave her name as Fana said fighters had rounded up captives in the main mosque before taking them out of town. She said she saved her two children by hiding them in her house.
