Emerging reports suggest that some
policewomen have been abducted by the
Boko Haram sect.
This was made known in a new video
released by the Boko Haram jihadists.
In the video released through a
journalist, Ahmad Salkida, the sect's
leader, Abubakar Shekau spoke for
about 10 minutes.
He said several female officers were
abducted during Boko Haram attack on
a joint police/military convoy near
Maiduguri on June 20.
His speech is then followed by scenes of
the fierce attack, which took place on
the Maiduguri-Damboa road.
In the 17 minutes and 25 seconds video,
graphic contents of one of the terror
victims are shown, as well as images of
another set of victims perhaps about to
be beheaded.
Shekau, takes credit for the attack and
mocked Nigerian security officials for
lying that Boko Haram had been
defeated.
"I want to tell you that we are the one
that attacked the convoy, here are the
vehicles for all to witness, we are the
ones that abducted the female police
officers. In fact, they are senior female
police officers," Shekau boasted.
"What we did is nothing when compared
to our women, children, and friends that
have been wiped out or arrested for
many years by the Nigerian government.
We only abducted them to serve as slaves
to us," he added.
He also declares that the women his
group abducted are fewer than 10 in
number, and referred to them as
"slaves".
