185 women and their children have been kidnapped in a village near Chibok town in Borno State. The attack took place over the weekend in Gumsuri village but the news couldn’t get out because of no telecommunication due to previous terrorist attacks on telecom masts in the area.
Sources from Borno claimed the gunmen attacked the village in the early hours of Sunday, shooting down all the men and vigilante group volunteers before kidnapping the children and women totalling 185.
Another source who is a local government official in Borno state said the terrorists took their captives away in a truck and burned down the village with petrol bombs. Few hunters reportedly escaped the attack.
