Boko Haram Abducts 100 Boys & YoungMen, Kills 10 In Maiduguri.

While we await the Islamist militant sect Boko Haram to#BringBackOurGirls and now, a report states they have taken young men.
Punch reports that during a Sunday attack in Doron Baga, Borno community, 100 boys and
young men were abducted while 10 were allegedly killed by Boko Haram.
According to the news publication, some of those that fled the area were sighted in Maiduguri on Thursday. They said they had to fled because of the constant attacks by the insurgents.
Halima Alhaji Adamu, one of the displaced persons said six members of Hadejia community in Doron Baga were killed and about 100 young men were abducted on Sunday when the sect launched an attack on their
community, displacing thousands who are now refugees in parts of Borno and Yobe states.
Halima also said that she lost her husband in the attack. She claims the insurgents are believed to have abducted the young men in
order to forcefully conscript them.
“The attack was on Sunday, in
my family they killed six people, I
don’t know about the other
families but the Hadaijawa
community which I belong also
had 100 of the abducted by the
insurgents.

I think it is better to go and live
with family members than opting
for camps. We lost everything we
have worked for, and I don’t
think the camp will be a better
place for us.
With family members, we can
have the courage to face life
again but the camp will continue
to make us reflect on our
predicament because there is no
care as such no focus for one to
engage himself or herself into
doing something meaningful.”
