Mother of one of the Abducted Chibok girls wails during a #Bringbackourgirls campaign in Abuja In a confusing twist of events, Boko Haram insurgents, who allegedly kidnapped about 50 women and girls from two border villages between Adamawa and Borno states have released the women among those kidnapped. This was revealed by villagers, who disclosed information about the alleged release with newsmen on the telephone from their various hide-outs. They went ahead to point out that they could not acertain the exact number of those released, but were certain at least 45 of the girls were still under Boko Haram captivity. According to accounts by the helpless villagers, the women and girls who were abducted are mainly from Waga Mangoro which is a border town between Gwoza in Borno and Madagali in Adamawa states. Relatives of some of the kidnapped women who were later released by the insurgents also, told newsmen in Yola that the girls were used as cooks while others were reported to have been married off immediately to some of the insurgents. A relative to the one of the women who does not wish to be quoted for issues of security said; "Initially, the insurgents captured 80 girls and women whom they later loaded into their vans and zoomed off into the bushes. "Later in the night, the insurgents separated the elderly women from the girls and released the women, who are now languishing in the forest because they could not relocate the towns because they were razed down by the insurgents. "We are confused that hours after the so called cease fire agreement between the Federal Government and Boko Haram insurgents, our girls are still being abducted by the insurgents. "We are at a loss about government's insincerity on the whole issue and we urge them to rescue our daughters without further delay as we are ready to die searching for our missing ones."
