nigeria school girl Breaking News: Local
Hunters RESCUE Over 80 Female
Students Abducted In Borno By Boko
Haram
According to report, the girls who were
kidnapped during a raid by the
insurgents on Monday night, April 14,
2014, were rescued on Tuesday and
Wednesday morning by a group of
vigilante, local hunters and soldiers.
As fate would have it, after kidnapping
the girls and putting them in tipper
lorries, they got stuck in the bush while
they were trying to crossover some
muddy area between Chibok and Askira/
Uba.
Some of the girls were said to have
jumped out of the lorry and ran for
their lives.
Speaking on the incident, one of the
rescued girl’s father, Malam Ali Iliya
said, his daughter told him that when
they got stuck, the insurgents allowed
those who jumped out escape and they
did not shoot at them, adding that
those who could not run either as a
result of fear or wound are still with
them in the bush.
The girls who escaped were found
scattered in the bush by vigilante and
local hunters.
Malm Ali said:-
“Some of them were wounded, some
were with fracture, which I believe was
as a result of jumping from the high
vehicle, but we are happy that our
children have been rescued.
“Now we are praying for those who
are still with the Boko Haram; our
prayer is that every father will have his
child back.”
According to his daughter, the
abductors were over a hundred in
number and the abducted girls were
243 as they were asked to count
themselves.
He added that his daughter Hajara was
sound and healthy but weak.
Meanwhile, the governor of Borno
State, Kashim Shettima today promised
to give N50 million to any individual or
group that would volunteer credible
information on the whereabouts of the
abducted girls.
The Boko Haram insurgents have been
wrecking havoc across the country.
Sometime in February, the insurgents
had attacked a Federal Government
College, Buni Yadi, Yobe State, killing
many students.
