Source: BBC

The women were loaded onto vans at gunpoint and driven away to an unknown location in Borno state, they add.

The army has not commented on the incident, which occurred on the nomadic Garkin Fulani settlement on Thursday.

The Nigerian military has faced mounting criticism for failing to stop militant attacks in the north-east.

And yes I can prove that some idiotic fascists believe this nonsense. They think that because the US is against Putin and because Russia signed a deal with Nigeria recently, the whole Boko Harem crisis is a false flag that the US invented.

It beggars belief that some fascist idiots believe that crap.

Hardly any responses to Boko or Taliban attacks and massacres. Call it what it is: Islamists doing what they do. Attack and kill innocents repeatedly.
But write an OP on weed and get 200 replies.

They were the cause du jour a couple of weeks ago; then, nothing.
