The House of Representatives, on Thursday, urged security agencies to rescue about 200 women reportedly kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists in the Gamboru-Ngala and Dikwa local government areas of Borno State.

The women, who were Internally Displaced Persons, were said to have been kidnapped while they went into the bush in search of firewood.


While residents put the number of the abducted women at about 101, the

United Nations, on Wednesday, said it believed the figure was over 200.


“The exact number of people abducted remains unknown but is estimated at over 200 people,” Ann Weru, Head of Public Information, Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the UN in Nigeria, said in a statement.

Moving a motion on a matter of urgent public importance on the floor of the House on Thursday, the lawmaker representing Bama/Ngala/Kalabalge Federal Constituency of Borno State, Zainab Gimba, described the abduction as worrisome, liking it with the April 2014 abduction of school girls in Chibok.

She said, “I want to bring to the notice of the House that about 300 women were abducted while fetching firewood for domestic and commercial purposes in my constituency.

“I am calling on security agencies to, as a matter of urgency, see to the rescue of these women who went in search of their daily bread.

“The House notes that this is the second biggest number of abductions after the Chibok girls abduction that took place in 2014 even though, some of those girls are still in captivity.”

In his remarks, the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, who presided over the plenary session, described the incident as a sad development and called on security agents to step up their search for the abducted women.


“We, as a House, are pained that the families of the abducted persons are going through what they are going through at the moment

“In the spirit of the International Women’s Day Celebration tomorrow (Friday), we pray that these women and those still in captivity be freed from their abductors.

“There is no better way to celebrate the
Women’s Day without calling for the protection and release of these women,” Kalu said.

Following the resolution of the House, the motion was referred to the Committee on Defence and National Emergency Management Agency.

The 7 Division Nigerian Army spokesman, Lt. Col. Ajemusu Jingina, told The PUNCH on Wednesday that the troops had begun a search for the abducted women.

“Troops have already been dispersed to far into the wilderness in search and rescue operations; the air component of the troops are also hovering around the wilderness for the search and rescue,” Jingina said.

“Times without number, we have warned the IDPs never to go out of the sight of security agents but they would never heed.

“Last Sunday, in the typical obstinacy of IDPs, these guys strayed out to as far as 25 kilometres from Ngala just to collect firewood; they were already in danger of any attack by the terrorists,” Jingina told The PUNCH angrily.

Government that knows exactly where they are to be taken to even before they were kidnapped



All of you should keep playing

😁

Since tinubu has decided to blame His predecessor for the economy, they have decided to use insecurity to teach his govt a lesson.
Buhari witnessed the staged kidnapping and release of school girls in order to further score a point against GEJ as being better in of security. It was in one of such jihadi-drama episodes that Leah Sharibu was kept back for being a Christian.

They have taken the women now and asked Tinubu to solve the riddle.

Nnamdi Kanu is the greatest 21st century man to arise in this country for calling Nigeria it's proper name ZOOOOOO.

While countries are going to space and building space stations, we are still stucked with kidnapped and rescued. Plus HUNGER

They are making the demand from air conditioned offices.

Make una dey play, until them terrorists face una.

Okay

Jeeezz

omo 200 women

O boyyyy...

This is corruption fighting back.
The Federal Government should put an end to these kidnapping games.
These are sponsored orchestrated kidnaps to Sabotage the governments.
Yes, I said it !!
How can they kidnap 200 women, 300 students only the teacher escaped. (Have you tried to round up 300 children on a football field)
Something doesn't add up...........We are entering the Chibok Era.

They are running a shadow opposition government within your istration.

These attacks happen every day yet security of Nigerians has never been the priority. They are chasing dollars up and down

200 abducted Borno women, 280 kidnapped school children in Kaduna...

How are these people transported after their abduction without the Police & Civil Defense having the least idea? I think we're just playing in this country... 🤔

Lmaoo.. 200 people kon be like ordinary pin.
How can 200 people be kidnapped at once within a state without a bus

Frankly speaking, whether you're Tinubu, Peter Obi or Atiku's ers or not, we all know the truth even if we publicly deny it; Tinubu has destroyed Nigeria in less than 1 year, 1000 times more than Buhari did in 8 years.

exactly how they scammed Jonathan this is what this people want to bring up against. What is the possibility of kidnapping 200 children once. Tinubu should watch the back of those national assembly call for the rescue of the scammed school children. They are likely the once sponsoring this nonsense.

300 women just like that

Nigeria my country, how did we get here ?

How dem take dey kidnap such large number of people like that?

This thing don rocket science o.
Even pyramid of Egypt no puzzle scientists like this

Simply tell your colleagues to release those people they kidnapped. They know many things about our insecurity.
Politicians are involved in this insecurity directly or indirectly. They just choose to pretend that they don't know anything.

You realise Borno alone is larger than SE

It has very vast land and the communities are well spaced

Borno is bigger than the whole of SE.
How is that possible?

200 people? This is no longer kidnapping but business of the elites in North. When they are tired of hunger, they will come out of hiding.

Wait 287 were kidnapped in Kaduna another 200 in Borno meanwhile president balablu is busy wasting jet fuel abroad.

E shock you too 😂

But the ineffective NPF said the insecurities in Nigeria is stage managed

What happen to the helicopters..... fighter jets etc all bought to fight terrorism and kidnappings? How can 200 people be kidnapped and can't be tracked or located? Hunters cannot track them? Tinubu should contract foreign mercenaries... who would carry out their mission without religion... tribe or the fear of any politician. Local agencies have these fears. Tinubu has the same fears ... and dare not propose it since he knows his fellow politicians are the ones behind these mass kidnappings. If so be the case ... and if he is serious ... he can organize the kidnapping of those he believe are behind it. I'm almost sure if Wike is in charge of security we wouldn't be having thus problem.

Check it out

Bornu is really vast

You bastards should keep playing politics with people's life.
From chibok girls to this...
And the mastermind of chibok girls are now in power.
Everything about this God forsaken country is tiring

Imagine 200 people?

Which road they ed to the hideout? How many vehicles they came with? Luxurious buses or trailers? Or keke napep?

Feeding, cleaning and maintenance of the 200 people is another problem.

How can you tell me the security personnel are not aware of the kidnap?

Even if they were kidnapped separately, taking 200 people from a community is one of the hardest things. Omo.

Nawa o x100.
