Despite military campaign against the Boko Haram insurgents , the foot soldiers stormed Gulak town in Adamawa state over the weekend .
Report says while several residents escaped , the terrorists were able to abduct up to 50 young women who were at a preaching venue.
DailyPost gathered that the women were reportedly loaded into trucks and whisked away by the insurgents as attempts by the military to rescue them failed.
According to a report in Daily Trust , a resident disclosed that he got news of the abduction while she was hiding in a village near Gulak, prior to his escape yesterday. He said the victims , including married women, were abducted regardless of plea .
A resident of Husra village in Michika LGA , Musa Uba , also disclosed that young men were forcefully taken away to join the insurgents after recruitment efforts through preaching did not get the insurgents volunteers.
“ They conducted preaching sessions to attract converts to their sect but people only listened out of fear . The next day they asked if anybody wanted to join them but there was no response , so they selected many healthy looking young men and ordered them to follow them. One of the victims is my relative who did bodybuilding exercises regularly, ” he
said .
