insurgents grabbed young people, boys and girls, from our region, they took all
boys aged 13 and over… and all girls aged 11 and more. According to our
information, 30 young people were abducted in the last two days.”
Another village
elder, Mallam Ashiekh Mustapha, confirmed the account.
Both men said 17
