Boko Haram Abducts 40 Boys In Malari Village.

Boko Haram militants have abducted 40 boys and young men in Malari village.
Scores of gunmen stormed Malari village in the northeast Borno state on New Year's Eve before rounding up males aged between ten and 23.
They were whisked away into one of the Islamists' major strongholds in the nearby Sambisa forest, according to terrified residents.
News of the mass kidnapping, which unfolded at about 8pm, emerged only days later after villagers fled the isolated settlement for the state capital Maiduguri (pictured) on Friday
