A resident of Warabe village Mallam Bello Umar in a telephone call confirmed the incident, pointing out that he was amongst the residents of the village before he ran and settled in Gwoza following the increasing cases of Boko Haram deadly attacks in Warabe and other neighbouring villages Gwoza council area.
” A group of terrorists invaded Warabe village on Sunday night, abducted 8 of our teenage girls before carting away with our foodstuffs and livestock.

The situation is so pathetic as almost all Gwoza people including villagers who came for safety are only restricted in a safer zone close to the council secretariat where there is enough presence of security personnel”. Bello stressed.
