After 30 days in captivity, B ‘Haram releases video of 10 supposed policewomen
The Boko Haram terrorist group has released a video showing 10 supposed police women it abducted 30 days ago.
The women were abducted in the troubled North-East state of Borno.
Earlier, the Nigerian Police had denied the claims by the terrorist group and said that no police officers were either killed or abducted by Boko Haram.

The tearful women shown in the video were being interviewed in Hausa in a bushy area, but there was nothing to show that they are indeed policewomen, as the were dressed in mufti.
The video is coming on the heels of several claims by the Nigerian government and the military that they have defeated the terrorist group.

As long the Nigerian Police denied the claim that their officers were not apprehended by the Boko Haram, then it’s of no use to start insinuating anything here

You are right. They just want to blackmail the Nigerian police. If it were to be true, the family of those police officers would have raised alarm.

Have you forgotten the type of police you have in Nigeria, they might have told their families to shut up

The federal government of Nigeria can lie too much, this is one advantage biafra has over Nigeria… No matter what the situation is, we don’t lie to our followers. By the time we break out of Nigeria, we’ll be a great example of good leadership and how a proper government should be.

APC’s government isn’t different from PDP’s, they are both great liars. Nigerians have fallen victim of this useless administration and we have to make things right in 2019. Anyone reading the news will think Boko Haram has no power in Nigeria again, but here is a heartbreaking video showing 10 police officers!!! It’s really sad.

Don’t even think of comparing this government to PDP’s, PDP is very useless and all their politicians are thieves, APC is still open and plain to Nigerians to some extent. Boko Harm will end in Nigeria, APC never promised overnight success, we still have to exercise patience with the government.
