An indigene of Borno State, Dr Fatima Zama Gana, on Monday revealed that members of the radical Islamist sect- Boko Haram have continued to kidnap more girls and women in the state.
Gana gave this mouth opening revelation in an interview with newsmen during the sit-out of the Bring Back Our Girls group at Amusement Park in Maitama, Abuja.
Gana revealed that some women and girls were recently abducted in Banki, and its environs in Borno State.
“Two days ago, we got a frantic call from one of the abducted women and she was talking in the Hilux van that gunmen stormed the place and picked up women from different settlements in Banki on the farm and in the market. As at that time, she was with her phone because they were many and were not searched. She was talking to her relation in Abuja that they were at the Gamboru-Ngala road. The abductors started raining insult on her and that was the last they heard from her. They pick women randomly. From her group, she said that they were about 20,” Gana said.
She stated that the continuous abduction of girls and women in the state by Boko Haram members was worrisome even after they had initially kidnapped over 234 female students from GGSS, Chibok.
Gana noted that the development worth worrying about, and called on the government to do something.
Meanwhile another resident of Chibok, who gave his name as Yusuf Sheriff Banki, lamented the suffering residents were going through.
He said that the people were very scared of their lives, adding that they no longer have food or drugs.
“They can’t go to farm any longer because they are scared of being raped, kidnapped or killed. Food is rather expensive there now. They are suffering, not having drugs and food. No channels of supplying food there. Dangote is no longer supplying food there. Other vendors have stopped theirs” he said.
Meanwhile, since the April 14 attack on Chibok community, Borno State. Economic activities have been crumbled as their main market was burnt down by Boko Haram members during the deadly attacked that also claimed more than 200 lives, with properties worth millions of naira destroyed. The people are still patiently waiting for the return of their abducted girls which sparked up both international and nationwide protest.
