The terror outfit Boko Haram has kidnapped at least 185 people from the northeast Nigeria village of Gumsuri, carting the hostages away on trucks towards the Sambisa Forest, a notorious rebel stronghold, two local officials and a vigilante leader said yesterday.
The mass abduction occurred Sunday.
Both officials, who requested anonymity, said the local government established the number of people abducted by contacting families, ward heads and emirs.
