The women abducted by the terrorists
Nigerian
Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, has released a video clip which
allegedly shows women the group abducted a month ago in Bornu state.
A video showing 10 distraught women, most of them mothers was sent exclusively to SaharaReporters
moments ago. The Nigerian Police has earlier refuted claims by Boko
Haram that no police officers were either killed or abducted by the
terror group.
Although, the two women that spoke in the video did not introduce
themselves as police personnels, but Amina Adam Gomdia that spoke
eloquently in Hausa said, five of the women in their midst are public
servants who are also breadwinners in their families.
It is not clear if the other women who could not evidently hold
back tears and shock to even say out their names are police women or,
wives of police officers. However, the convoy they were travelling in
when they were attacked few kilometres after Maiduguri along Damboa was
carrying the corpse of a deceased police woman earlier killed by the
terrorist group.
One of the women that spoke in the video who gave her name as
Deborah Philipus said, right from the minute they were abducted, Boko
Haram treated their wounds and they have never lacked what to eat, they
bring water to us and whatever we need.
"We are grateful to you (referring to Boko Haram), but the
Government of Nigeria should not say we were not abducted, indeed we
were abducted," said Philibus.
Another of the abducted women, Amina Adam Gomdia, introduced
herself as a lecturer with the Federal College of Fisheries, Baga whom
SaharaReporters learned was widowed by Boko Haram after her husband and
two sons were slaughtered before her eyes in the early years of the Boko
Haram conflict in Maiduguri, survived and has been looking after the
rest of her children as "their mother and father," as she herself mentioned in the 4 minutes 41 seconds Video.
The two women that spoke on behalf of the 10 abducted women pleaded
with the Federal government not to forsake them and should do
everything it can to rescue them like the Chibokgirls.
"Today, here we are, everyone has seen us, our relatives have
seen us, government, our youngsters have all seen us, this is not a lie,
we have been abducted for 30 days," said the distraught Amina.
