Boko Haram Militants Kidnap Three Women In Nigeria
MEP: Boko Haram militants have reportedly kidnapped three women near the northeastern Nigrian town of Chibok and killed at least four villagers on Tuesday.
The terror group in April 2014 had kidnapped more than 270 girls from a school in the northeastern Nigerian town, out of which about 50 girls managed to escape, but a majority of them still remain in its captivity.
The abduction occurred when the militants attacked the Kautuva village at dawn, set houses ablaze and fired on residents, according to villagers and a member of a vigilante group working with the army.
“Some of us were lucky to survive and ran to Chibok,” said a man who gave his name as Ali Pagu. Another resident said the militants had kidnapped three women.
Boko Haram which means “Western education is forbidden” has killed more than 20,000 and displaced 2.3 million from their homes and was ranked as the world’s deadliest terror group by the Global Terrorism Index in 2015.
