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.
