20 Passengers abducted In Borno As B’Haram insurgents Hijack Bus.

Boko Haram insurgents on Wednesday hijacked a professional bus and kidnapped the passengers up to speed in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.  A family member of one of many kidnap victims, Isa Musa, told Reuters that between 10 and 20 people were kidnapped by the insurgents. It was uncertain of the precise number of individuals abducted.

“Boko Haram attacked a commercial vehicle and abducted some civilians – over 10 men and women were abducted,” Musa said.

He stressed that his “uncle was in the bus with some other passengers, men and women, about 20 of them, when the incident occurred.”

The incident was confirmed by a soldier, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
