Elders of the community made the complaint in a petition to the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osibanj.

The Boko Haram insurgents had ambushed over 60 personnel of the Police Mobile Force (PMF), mourners and several vehicles on the Maiduguri-Damboa-Biu highway on June 20.

The abducted women, according to the elders, were taken from Dalwa village, about 31 kilometres from Maiduguri.

The elders, who brought the petition to a press conference, said the whereabouts of the women remained a mystery, while the state police command and other security forces were yet to offer any clarification on the issue. (Thisday)
