FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Chadian troops have rescued some 85 Nigerians who had been abducted last week by Takfiri Boko Haram militants in northeast Nigeria.
On August 10, Boko Haram militants stormed the village of Doron Baga on the shores of Lake Chad and kidnapped some 100 young men and several women. At least 28 people were killed and several houses were burnt in the raid, according to residents.
On Saturday, a senior security official in Nigeria’s Borno State said Chadian forces intercepted a convoy of buses. During the operation, 65 men and over 20 women were rescued and the militants reportedly escaped on speedboats after seeing the convoy being stopped.
“The convoy being led by six Boko Haram gunmen was stopped on the Chadian part of the border along Lake Chad for routine checks and the high number of people in the convoy raised suspicion,” he added.
Meanwhile, an official of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno, also confirmed that about 85 men and women were rescued while some 30 others are still being held by the militants.
Boko Haram has also claimed responsibility for a number of deadly gun and bomb attacks in various parts of Nigeria since 2009. It has repeatedly targeted civilians, killing more than 2,000 people since January.
