The Caspian Hare Posted July 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Boko Haram jihadists have kidnapped 37 women and slit the throats of nine other people at a village in southeastern Niger, the regional governor said Tuesday. The attack happened on Sunday at the village of Ngalewa, near the border with Nigeria, the governor of Diffa region, Laouali Mahamane Dan Dano, told state TV. “Boko Haram elements... slit the throats of nine people... they took women, 37 women, and departed with them,” he said. “The defence and security forces are already in pursuit, and we hope that in the coming days these women will be found and freed,” he said. The governor, who went to Ngalewa on Monday, said the village had been singled out because it was known for its resistance to the jihadists. http://www.france24.com/en/20170704-boko-haram-kill-nine-people-niger-village-kidnap-dozens-more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
