After several denials by concerned authorities, the Boko Haram terrorist group has released a new video where it showed women believed to have been kidnapped from a police convoy in Borno state on June 21.
It would be recalled that Boko Haram attacked the convoy conveying a corpse of a deceased policewoman to Adamawa state with a number of officers reported missing after the attack.
In the video, Abubakar Shekau, leader of the Boko Haram factional sect, said the abducted officers had become slaves.

As seen in the video, one Adam Gomdia, who introduced herself as a lecturer at the federal college of fisheries, Baga, said five of the women were public servants whom she described as breadwinners in their families.
“Today, here we are, everyone has seen us, our relatives have seen us, government, our youngsters have all seen us, this is not a lie, we have been abducted for 30 days,” said Gomdia
Deborah Philipus, another woman said in the video, that Boko Haram have taken care of them by treating their injuries and providing other necessities for them.
“We are grateful to you (Boko Haram). But the government of Nigeria should not say we were not abducted, indeed we were abducted,” Philipus said.
