while searching firewood inside a
bush while some were abducted at
a river while fishing.

Confirming the incident, Adamu
Kamale, the House of
representatives member
representing Michika/ Madagali
Federal constituency said;

“I just received the shocking news
to the effect that about 16 women
have been abducted by Boko
Haram.

We have been witnessing pockets
of attacks contrary to the belief
that security has been fully
restored in the area.

As a member of NASS( National
Assembly), I have been calling for
the deployment of security
personnel but to no avail as the
government seems to have
relegated our concerns to the
background”.

The state Police Public Relations
Officer, Othman Abubakar, also
confirmed the incident and said
the police was working towards the
release of the abducted women and
girls.
