Boko Haram: 10 Women Still Missing, Says Amnesty Int’l

Amnesty International, on Sunday, claimed 10 women working in the Kwashaba rice farm in Borno State where members of the Boko Haram terrorist group slaughtered 43 persons, are still missing.

Amnesty disclosed this in a tweet on Sunday.

The organisation also stated that 16 out of the 43 farmers that were killed were Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

The tweets partly read: “Boko Haram and other armed groups must renounce their unlawful and vicious campaign of violence against civilians. The Nigerian authorities, for their part, must do more to protect civilians and bring the perpetrators of all such attacks to justice.

“Amnesty International’s findings show that, of the 43 farmers slaughtered by Boko Haram yesterday, 16 were Internally Displaced Persons resident at Farm Centre IDP Camp while 10 women working in Kwashabe rice farm are still missing after the attack.”

The bodies of the victims were taken to Zabarmari village, where they would be kept ahead of burial on Sunday.

Last month, Boko Haram terrorists slaughtered 22 farmers working on their irrigation fields near Maiduguri in two separate incidents.

Recall that the latest Global Terrorism Index report ranked Nigeria third despite a decline in the number of terrorism-related deaths in the country, just behind Afghanistan and Iraq.
