Boko Haram Terrorists Abduct 22 Girls In Fresh Attack

Boko Haram terrorists have abducted 22 girls and women in
two separate raids. In the first attack on Thursday, the
jihadists raided the village of Pulka near border with
Cameroon where they kidnapped 18 girls.
‘Boko Haram fighters from Mamman Nur camp arrived in
pickup vans around 6am and seized 14 young girls aged 17
and below while residents fled into the bush,’ a Pulka
community leader told AFP.
‘They picked four other girls, who were fleeing the raid they
came across in the bush outside the village,’ said the
community leader who asked not to be named for fear of
reprisal.
According to the official, the attackers were loyal to the
faction headed by Abu Musab Al-Barnawi, the son of Boko
Haram founder Mohammed Yusuf.
Barnawi was appointed last year by the Islamic State group
to replace leader Abubakar Shekau, who had pledged
allegiance to the Middle East jihadist group in 2015.
Another resident confirmed the raid and said the girls were
likely to end up as brides for the fighters.
‘They didn’t harm anyone during the raid and they made no
attempt to shoot people running away from the village,’ said
the resident.
