Other sources added that some of the women were taken from a nearby
bush where they went in search of firewood.
Others were seized from a nearby river while fishing.
Meanwhile, two women managed to run from the kidnappers by pretending
to have drowned.
The source said: "The two women who are in real state of trauma told

away the women when their escorts ran away for their dear lives.

unchallenged leading to the abduction of the said women."

The NASS member representing Michika/ Madagali Federal constituency,
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".
Almost two years ago the kidnapping of nearly 300 girls by Islamist
extremists has sparked global outrage and an online campaign, Bring
Back Our Girls.
The Nigerian army claimed that Nigeria is winning the war against the
Boko Haram.
