“At about 8:00 PM today, the 23rd April, I, Samaila Ibrahim Kaigama, was contacted by individuals identified as JAS, also known as Boko Haram, regarding the abducted Ngoshe victims.

“During the communication, they claimed that they have selected 68 women out of the reported 416 captives and intend to distribute them among their members, similar to previous abduction cases. They also made threats that some captives may be harmed or killed based on their own selection.

“They further mentioned figures ranging between 50 and 60 persons in relation to those they may target,” he said.
