Boko Haram strikes again with abduction of 90 girls feared
Bauchi, Nigeria — More than 90 Nigerian schoolgirls are feared missing after Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram attacked a village in the northeastern state of Yobe, two sources said on Wednesday.Their disappearance, if confirmed, would be one of the largest since Boko Haram abducted 270 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok in 2014. That case drew global attention to the nine-year insurgency, which the UN has called one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
A roll-call at the girls’ school on Tuesday showed that 91 students were absent, said the two sources. "I saw girls crying and wailing in three Tata vehicles and they were crying for help," said a witness from the nearby village of Gumsa who was forced to show the insurgents the way out of the area and later released.
Reuters was unable to verify the witness’s account that Boko Haram had abducted girls in the attack on Monday evening. Nigerian police and the regional education ministry denied any abductions had taken place, but parents and other witnesses said the girls were still missing.

It is enough from them now, almost every year we hear about Boko Haram and the disappearance of schoolgirls.They must let the kids study in freedom and pursue their dreams. How does the families of these girls feel about their children who are taken every year by this Boko Haram. Guyzn please also share your own views about this, what do you think?.

ReplyDeleteBoko Haram is a very cruel army, the girls are suffering for what they have not done. Boko Haram need to be taught a lesson but now the problem is that countries fear Boko Haram.
