Woman Kidnapped By Boko Haram In Gumsuri Escapes, Narrates Bitter Experience by voiceofnigeria(m): 5:37pm On Jan 01, 2015
A woman, recently kidnapped by Boko Haram militants in Gumsuri together with 184 other females and children, miraculously escaped from the captors.

It would be recalled that the insurgents killed 32 and allegedly abducted scores in Gumsuri town, Borno State, located close to the infamous Chibok where more than 200 school girls were kidnapped in April, 2014.

According to the latest update by Daily Trust, one woman managed to flee the camp.

The victim, who is currently safe in the state’s capital Maiduguri, described her escape as “miraculous” and prayed God to pave way for other mates to regain their freedom.

She narrated how people were used by the abductors.

“We were kept in a camp at Zongare village and there is vast farmland there. We work morning and afternoon on the farmland, sieving beans and packaging it into bags. Our captors do a lot of exercises, they also practice handling of firearms. Sometimes, some of them would disappear for one or two days and then reappear. Captives are being forced to eat only beans.”

Meanwhile a residents of the town said with reference to the woman’s words that only 4 militants had been guarding the hostages and the others had gone for an operation, BBC Hausa Service reports.

Violent actions have been recently observed in the area around Chibok. December 29, Boko Haram were said to have killed at least 15 people in Kautikari village, situated close to Chibok and to Cameroon border.

And before anyone asks.....the reason why the Army is not storming the camp is because it may be heavily mined.
