Suspected Boko Haram gunmen have reportedly kidnapped 20 women from a nomadic settlement in Borno State near the town of Chibok, where the terrorists abducted more than 200 schoolgirls and young women on April 15.
A member of the vigilante groups set up to resist Boko Haram’s attacks, identified simply as Alhaji Tar, said the men arrived at noon Thursday in the Garkin Fulani settlement and forced the women to enter their vehicles at gunpoint.
He says they drove away to an unknown location in the remote stretch of Borno state, adding that the group also took three young men who tried to stop the kidnapping.
“We tried to go after them when the news got to us about three hours later, but the vehicles we have could not go far, and the report came to us a little bit late,” he said.
