Boko Haram: Militants Kidnap 97 People In Borno.....

Villagers from  Doron Baga in Kukuwa local government area of Borno  recounted their ordeal in the hands of the Boko haram group last Sunday.

It was disclosed that the militants stormed the village on Sunday, forcing people to flee to the bush, where many spent several days.

A 42-year-old mother of seven, Halima Adamu, lost six family members in the attack.

"The attack happened on Sunday in our village Doron Baga. The Boko Haram fighters came at 5:30 p.m. They opened fire, shooting into our houses and killed more than 30 people. There was confusion everywhere, and they started taking our boys away. 97 of our husbands and boys were forcefully taken away.”

Another resident, Fatima Suleiman, said her husband was among those taken away. "They were shooting at everybody, even children. They were shouting ‘Allah akbar!’ They were many of them," she told reporters at the Borno motor park.

A military source whilst  confirming Sunday’s attack, however, said  that he was unaware of the abductions.
