Nigerian media outlets largely relied on the account of a local leader from the town of Mafa. Who took office only a month ago, and said attacks began Wednesday. The Newspaper Leadership, said the official was visibly shaken as he told reporters, from the information available to us, about 30 youths have been taken away and the insurgents are tormenting the communities by carrying out. Daily attacks. Monday morning Human Rights Watch issued a report on Boko Haram's kidnapping victims. It says the group abducted more than 500 women and girls since 2009 and criticized the Nigerian government's response to stop the abductions. And help the victims. Video interviews with victims, some of whom were kidnapped from Chibock, showed the women were forced to convert to Islam, marry militants, and even used on front lines of their attacks for tasks like holding bullets. Nigeria announced more than a week ago it had reached a cease fire agreement with the terrorist group. Which included the release of the Chibok girls. But these latest kidnappings along with reports of another mass abduction the previous weekend of at least 50 women and girls, only further increases skepticism Boko Haram and the heavily criticized government will actually make the release happen.
