Ten people have been abducted in Nigeria's northeastern Borno State following Boko Haram attacks over the weekend, a security official said on Tuesday.
State-owned News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) "ed the local commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps Ibrahim Abdullahi as saying that six men and four women had been kidnapped in the village of Kalari in the Konduga district .
The abduction is the first to be reported in several months.
Abdullahi said the incident underscores militants' attempts to shore up their fighting force as army continues to raid their hideouts.
"Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who are desperate to return to their liberated communities should desist from living in areas that are not properly secured by armed personnel," said the official.
Nigeria still grapples with the seven-year-old Boko Haram insurgency in its northeast, although the army is believed to have contained the militants to the hinterlands where analysts said they still carry out occasional raids on the civilian population -
