Forty Five out of the 63 women and
children who escaped being abducted by Boko Haram insurgents at Damboa and
Chibok villages in Borno State; have been recaptured by the Islamic terror
group, after attacking military and police formations in Damboa last Friday
night. Sources said that those escaped from the gunmen were 18, leaving 45
abductees in the hands of insurgents.
Scores of the Boko Haram insurgents
and 17 soldiers and several policemen died during the attack to re-capture the
women and children.
Speaking of the recapture of the
victims in a telephone interview yesterday in Maiduguri, Abass Gava, a member
of Chibok Vigilante Group said that 63 women and children who initially escaped
during the clashes between the military and Boko Haram had been recaptured,
while attempting to flee from the camps where they were held in their
respective villages.
He said: “It is very unfortunate and
shocking to tell you today (yesterday) that 45 of the 63 escaped women and
children were kidnapped again on Sunday night, leaving only 18 that ran into
this forests.”
