Boko Haram sets some of the recently kidnapped women free















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 als 
, 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.
