Suspected Islamist Boko Haram militants have kidnapped up to 30 women from nomadic settlements in Borno state, close to Chibok, where the group abducted more than 200 schoolgirls, residents said.
Villagers from Chibok told Reuters on Tuesday they had met nomads fleeing last week’s raids and saying the kidnappers were demanding cattle in exchange for the women.
“One of them named Mohammed told me Boko Haram held the men at gunpoint and moved from hut to hut taking the women,” said Yahaya Musa. “The abductors told them to bring a ransom of cows,” said farmer Yakub Chibok.
Police and army spokesmen said they could not confirm the accounts that women were taken on Thursday in areas outside Chibok.
The nomadic settlements hit included Bakin Kogi, Garkin Fulani and Rigar Hardo, according to reports.
