Adamu Kamale, confirmed the incident saying: "I just received the

shocking news to the effect that about 16 women have been abducted by

Boko Haram.

"We have been witnessing pockets of attacks contrary to the belief

that security has been fully restored in the area. As a member of

NASS( National Assembly), I have been calling for the deployment of

security personnel but to no avail as the government seems to have

relegated our concerns to the background".

extremists has sparked global outrage and an online campaign, Bring

Back Our Girls.
