. 20 Women, 3 Men Abducted By Boko Haram Near Chibok

About 20 women from a nomadic settlement have been abducted
by suspected Islamist Boko Haram group near Chibok.
Schoolgirls who have escaped from Boko Haram kidnappers in the
village of Chibok, sit at the Government house to speak with State
Governor Kashim Shettima in Maiduguri on June 2, 2014.
The gunmen seized the ethnic Fulani women, ordered them into
vehicles at gunpoint and drove them off to an unknown location.
The abduction followed an attack of a settlement known as Garkin
Fulani.
A member of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria Alhaji Tar confirmed the
incident in a phone interview
"We got the information that they went there, and took away the
women at the time none of the males were there," Tar said. "The
three young men they met there could not help the women, as the
gunmen also ordered the three of them to enter the Hilux vans, and
took all of them away."
It is not yet clear when exactly the incident took place. According
to Associated Press, the women were kidnapped on Thursday,
June 5, while according to Bloomberg - on Sunday, June 8.
It will be recalled that more than 200 schoolgirls have been
abducted by Boko Haram on April 15 . Some of them escaped while
the majority remain missing.
