Over 60 kidnapped women escape from Boko Haram captors
According to a Boko Haram vigilante, Abbas Gava, the women escaped from their captors on Friday after the militants had left their camp to attack a police station and military barracks in the town of Damboa. A high-level source in Maiduguri, the state capital of Borno, said around half of the women who escaped had already returned to their homes, no doubt to the delight of their families. The other half supposedly remained in custody by soldiers in the town of Gulak.
