The Borno State Police Command has confirmed that 12 female farmers have been abducted by suspected Boko Haram insurgents in the Askira-Uba area of the state.
Police authorities said the young women were seized while returning home from their farms, a route that has become increasingly dangerous due to heightened insurgent activity in recent weeks.
The victims, believed to be between the ages of 15 and 20, were taken into the nearby forest, prompting immediate search efforts by security personnel.
The abduction has sparked renewed concern among local leaders and residents, who are urging the government and security agencies to intensify rescue operations and strengthen protection for farming communities across Borno.
Security operatives say efforts are ongoing to track the abductors and secure the safe return of the victims.
