Sixty women were reportedly abducted by
suspected members of the deadly Boko Haram sect at Waga Mangoro and
Garta villages, both in troubled Adamawa State during a fresh attack.
Forty of the women were said to have been abducted in Waga Mangoro and the other 20 were forcefully taken away from Grata.
Some
of the fleeing residents from the area, who called journalists in Yola
on the telephone lamented that scores of insurgents riding motorcycles
and driving vans had invaded their towns.

The
fleeing residents while lamenting the capture of the two towns, said
they were able to sneak out of the captured towns on Tuesday, but
disclosed that their villages were ravaged on Saturday.
One
of those that was about to flee the area, Tizhe Kwada told journalists
that the area had been under the control of the insurgents for about two
months now.
He said that though one
of the attacked towns, Garta had been under what could be termed as the
control of the insurgents for sometimes now, but that did not stop them
from overrunning it and carting away the young women.
Kwada
claimed that the insurgents cordon off the entire town and went from
one house to another in Garta in search of young women who they took in
their vans to an unknown destination.
