Chad’s troops have rescued most of the 100
people kidnapped by the Boko Haram sect,
following a successful military operation against
the sect.
The terrorist group earlier this month kidnapped 100
people, according to a Nigerian security official and a
local self-defence member.
The Associated Press reported that the rescue
operation took place on Friday.
The abductions took place on August 10 in Doron
Baga in the Kukawa area near the border with Chad,
said the official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to
the media.
He said the terrorists were stopped as they crossed
the Chad border by Chadian soldiers who killed most
of them and set free most of the captives.
Muhammed Gava, a member of the anti-Boko
Haram vigilante movement, said 20 females and
about 70 young men had been forced to board speed
boats in Lake Chad, which lies on the border between
Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
A source, who spoke to journalists in Maiduguri, said
the insurgents attacked the village in the evening and
took away some boys and young men.
Some of those that fled the area that were sighted in
Maiduguri after the attack, said they had to flee
because of the constant attacks by the insurgents.
