Borno state police command has this morning maintained it's position on the alleged abduction of 30 adolescents by Boko Haram terrorists saying that the attack on Mafa community only recorded five deaths and no any case of human heist.
Police Spokesman for Borno state, Gideon Jubrin, a Deputy Superintendent, told this blog that Ndongo hamlet under Mafa local government area was attacked on Thursday by the Boko Haram terrorists who killed five persons and stole a Ford pickup van belonging to one Mallam Bulama, a resident of Ndongo.
"We still have no reported case of abduction", said DSP Jubrin. "What we have here is that some five persons were killed during the attack, and a Ford pickup van belonging to one Mallam Bulama was also taken away by the Boko Haram ".
Council chairman of Mafa, Shettima Maina, had told reporters on Sunday that 30 females were abducted by Boko in communities under his local government area.
A local vigilante official, Abbas Gava, had also allude to some cases of abduction around Mafa area, where he said "They would first flock all the women out of the villages, then later on free the olds amongst them and go away with the younger women and teenage girls"
But a top security official, who spoke to this blog but begged not to be quoted because his schedule was not to speak with journalists, doubted the mass abduction, even as he explained that the said abduction may be a a summation of series of kidnappings carried out by the Boko Haram over the week.
