Colonel Sani Usman told AFP that Boko Haram killed four people and abducted four women from a village in northeast Nigeria, calling the insurgents weak and desperate.
“Boko Haram terrorists riding
on six motorcycles attacked the village. They killed four residents and
abducted four women,” he said.“Residents of neighbouring
Kaya village mobilised and pursued the terrorists. They traced them to Sabon
Garin Baale but unfortunately they lost track of the gunmen.”
The military spokesman said soldiers and
civilian militia have been deployed to the area to track the kidnapped but do
not know if they are heading to Sambisa forest or elsewhere.
“They are doing their best to
track them downand rescue the women,” he added.
“Boko Haram have been
severely weakened. But they are trying to save face. That’s why they’re trying to launch attacks
on soft targets.
“They’re now facing lots of
challenges. Our troops are mounting pressure on them, which has cut off most of
their supply routes.
“Just a few days ago 17 Boko
Haram terrorists surrendered to the civilian JTF in the Damboa area. They were
forced to surrender out of starvation.”
