BOKO HARAM KIDNAPS 60 WOMEN IN ADAMAWA

                  

Despite efforts by the federal government to negotiate the release of over 200 Chibok schoolgirls who were abducted by Boko Haram in April, about 60 women were reportedly kidnapped in Adamawa State by the terrorists.

The women were said to have been abducted from Waga Mangoro and Garta villages in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State following renewed attacks unleashed by the insurgents.

While 40 women were said to have been abducted from Waga Mangoro, 20 were forcibly uprooted from their homes in Garta.

the House of Representatives on Wednesday approved the $1 billion loan request made by President Goodluck Jonathan for the procurement of military hardware to end the insurgency.
