Sixty-three (63) women who were abducted by Boko Haram
insurgents in parts of Borno state, about two weeks ago, may have escaped
captivity and returned back to their
homes, security sources revealed Sunday.
Some witnesses told reporters that the women surprisingly
who emerged in large numbers on Saturday must have taken the opportunity of
relaxed watch on the camps where they were held hostage to escape.
It is believed that the siege by the insurgents on military
and security facilities last Friday on Damboa might have presented the women
with an opportunity to flee from their abductors.
It would be recalled that 68 women were allegedly abducted
by the insurgents from Kummabza village
in Damboa local government area of Borno state two week ago.
The abduction was denied by the federal government but Borno
state government treated the case with caution with the state governor, Alhaji
Kashim Shettima setting up an inquiry into the abduction.
