48 women who were abducted from the villages of Maiwa and Shuwarin in Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State have been released by Boko Haram terrorists.
According to Counter-Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama, the release of the women came after a ransom of N2.4 million was paid.
In a tweet on Thursday, Makama revealed that the women were kidnapped on their farmlands on Tuesday, August 22, 2023.
After being abducted, the women were taken to an undisclosed location by Boko Haram, who then demanded a ransom.
“On Wednesday, August 23, the women were released after each paying N50,000 as ransom to the terrorists,” Makama wrote.
Makama also disclosed that eight of the abducted women had previously been set free after each paying a ransom of N20,000.
