According to Alhaji Tar, a member of the vigilante groups set up to checkmate Boko Haram’s further attacks, the gunmen who arrived on Thursday noon in the Garkin Fulani settlement, held the women at gunpoint and forced them to enter their vehicles.
Tar also said while three young men tried to stop the kidnapping, the gunmen took them along.
“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 added.
Meanwhile, in another incident we reported earlier today, military troops killed more than 50 militants on Saturday night as they were on their way to attack communities and villages in Gwoza. You can read the full report HERE.
The Nigerian military have come under severe criticism by the masses who claim the military forces are not doing enough to protect them from attacks thereby, leaving them vulnerable.
It is understood that the aim of the Boko Haram sect is to forcefully establish an Islamic State of their own in Nigeria and as long as this mission is yet to be accomplished, they won't stop carrying out mass attacks.
The sect has been taking over villages in the northeast, killing, burning and terrorizing civilians and political leaders that even the mighty begin to pace and wonder about their safety. In the last five years of insurgency in Nigeria, an estimate of over five thousand people have been killed of which more than 2,000 people have been killed so far this year, and an estimated 750,000 Nigerians have been rendered homeless.
The terrorists have bombed market places and bus stations in three cities, killing about 250 people, and their attacks on northeast villages has turned to be an everyday occurrence leaving at least 20 people dead per day.
