The Borno State Emergency Management Agency has said that nine out of the 102 female Internally Displaced Persons reportedly abducted by Boko Haram terrorists on March 4 have returned home.
The women were reportedly abducted last week Sunday at Gamboru-Ngala when they went out of the IDP camp in search of firewood in the bush.
Borno SEMA Director-General, Dr Barkindo Saidu, who stated this in an interview with newsmen said there was information that nine of the women had returned.
Saidu said officials at Ngala have been instructed to mount an intensive and extensive vigilance to inform the agency about any trickling number returning.
The SEMA DG had earlier dismissed the abduction narrative, arguing that the women only lost their way back home from the wilderness.
Meanwhile, the Jama’atu Nasril Islam had called on the Federal Government to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators of abductions at Ngala IDP camp, in Borno and Kuriga in Kaduna State.
The Secretary-General of JNI, Professor Khalid Aliyu, who made the call in a statement in Kaduna, said the National Security Adviser and Director-General, Department of State Security should do more to prosecute all the perpetrators of heinous crimes against humanity.
