While the Nigerian military is still basking in the euphoria
of defeating the dreaded Boko Haram sect by recapturing most of the towns and
cities in their territory few days to the elections, reports reaching The Mega StarNews on Tuesday said
the sect has kidnapped more than 400
women and children from the northern town of Damasak that was freed this month
by troops from Niger and Chad.
There was no immediate official confirmation of the figure,
but the Islamist group has previously carried out mass kidnappings.
