Boko Haram Abducts 200 Female Students In Borno

Suspected Boko Haram sect members attacked
Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State,
in the night of April 14, 2014, Monday.
According to DailyPost, a soldier and a police officer
were killed, Governmental Girls' Secondary School
and the Chibok Local Government secretariat were
burnt. The militants have also razed about 100
homes because some of the residents initially
resisted them.
BBC Hausa reported that about 200 GGSS female
students may have been kidnapped by Boko Haram
fighters, while sources of Saharareporters confirmed
the abduction of 103 girls.
The gunmen, who set the college building ablze,
ordered the hostel's teenage residents onto four
lorries. The mass abduction lasted between 9pm and
3am. Sect members made several trips picking and
choosing their victims.
A student, who did not wish to be named, told the
newsmen that she had escaped after seeing her
classmates jumping out of the back of a lorry.
Another local source revealed that there was
complete chaos during the attack, adding that the
students could not put up any resistance to the
heavily armed attackers.
The exact number of civilian casualties cannot be
ascertained at the time of filing the present report.
Hundreds of residents were reported fleeing the LGA.
It would be noted that in the last two weeks Boko
Haram changed its tactics, switched to terrorising
travellers along the major highways in Borno and in
the neighbouring states. The Federal Government
still remains undecided on further prolongation of the
emergency rule in the North East which expires on
April 19, 2014.
