No fewer than 14 women and 2 girls were
abducted by Boko Haram members in Adamawa
state yesterday March 23rd.
According to Premium Times, the women and girls were
abducted in Sabongari Madagali, in Madagali
Local Government of the state.
Some of the women were abducted while
searching firewood inside a bush while some
were abducted at a river while fishing.
Confirming the incident, Adamu Kamale, the
House of representatives member representing
Michika/ Madagali Federal constituency said
“I just received the shocking news to the
effect that about 16 women have been
abducted by Boko Haram. We have been
witnessing pockets of attacks contrary to
the belief that security has been fully
restored in the area.
As a member of NASS( National Assembly), I have been
calling for the deployment of security
personnel but to no avail as the
government seems to have relegated our
concerns to the background”.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Othman
Abubakar, also confirmed the incident and said
the police was working towards the release of
the abducted women and girls.
