Boko Haram kidnap Nigerian army officers wives, children

Many wives and children of military men were reportedly kidnapped by suspected Boko Haram militants who attacked the Nuhu Muhammed Barracks in Bama, Borno State, on Friday, The Nation and Sunday Tribune newspapers reported. The Nigerian military has deployed fighter jets in a bid to hunt down the militants and possibly rescue their victims. The audacious attack by Boko Haram fighters numbering about 300 did not only leave dead people but also a yet-to-be-identified number of soldiers’ wives and children were taken away by the terrorists. Their exact number has not been yet clear.
