Just as Nigerians are crying and weeping over the abduction of 234 students of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno, the Boko Haram sect invaided Warabe village of Gwoza Local government area of the state, abducting 11 tennage girls between the ages of 12 and 15, on Monday night.
The gunmen made away with some foodstuff and livestock beloging to the villagers before vanishing into the bush.
Gwoza is about 160 kilometres from Maiduguri, the state capital.
A resident of Warabe village, Mallam Bello Umar who said he was in the village when the incident took place, confirmed the incident on telephone.
Umar said: “A group of terrorists invaded Warabe village on Monday night, abducted 11 of our teenage girls before carting away our foodstuffs and livestock. As I am talking to you now, I have escaped to Gwoza council headquarters, and even in Gwoza, we are restricted to the council secretariat due to the fear of the terrorists. The situation is so pathetic as almost all Gwoza people including villagers who came for safety are only restricted to a safer zone close to the council secretariat where there is enough presence of security personnel”.
He added that the gunmen who came in their 20s with AK-47 did not kill anyone but scared both the residents and parents with the guns and abducted the children in the presence of their parents before running towards the hilly border areas between Gwoza and Cameroon Republic.
