Boko Haram: 22 Women were Not Abducted From Pulka - Army

The Nigerian Army has said that there was no abduction of women in Pulka as reported in the media and that  Pulka is a heavily guarded region by the Army.


In a statement in Maiduguri, the Army Spokesman, Brigadier General Sani Usman said the report was totally false.

"The attention of The Nigerian Army has been drawn to a news story circulating on Social Media and  some mainstream media that suspected Boko Haram terrorists have allegedly attacked Pulka  and abducted 22 women, attributing it to an unidentified Bulama as source.

"We wish to state that the report is completely false and should be ignored. For the avoidance of doubt, Pulka and its environs is heavily fortified and there has not been any security breach in the area. Media houses are please requested to always cross check their facts before publishing or broadcasting," he said.
