Boko Haram kidnap 22 women and girls in Nigeria again

Boko Haram Islamists (file) abducted 22 girls and women on Thursday in two separate raids in northeast Nigeria, according to residents and vigilantes. Some of the girls were aged 17 or younger.

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 by phone.

‘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 reprisals.
