Islamists abduct 25 Nigerian girls after ceasefire

The Nigerian terrorist group, Boko Haram, has abducted another 25 girls from a remote town in the country's northeast, despite ongoing talks between the group and the government over securing the release of over 200 other hostages the group had seized back in April 2014.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - John Kwaghe lost three daughters to the terrorist militants, and also witnessed the attack.

Act now, please help save fellow Christians from genocide!

Dorathy Tizhe lost two daughters, and said that the militants came late in the night.

"We are confused that hours after the so-called ceasefire agreement has been entered between the Federal Government and Boko Haram insurgents, our girls were abducted by the insurgents," Kwaghe said.

"We urge the government to please help rescue our daughters without further delay, as we are ready to die searching."

It has been nearly a week since the government announced the ceasefire deal, which includes the release of the girls that were kidnapped from the Chibok secondary school, but so far there is no sign that Boko Haram is going to follow through on their part of the agreement.

There was a separate attack late on October 22, where a bomb exploded at a bus station in the town of Azare in the stat of Bauchi in northern Nigeria. The explosion killed at least five people, and wounded 12. Though there are no official reports on who was behind the attack, Boko Haram is suspected.

Boko Haram is infamous for bombing public places.

The group is intent on creating an Islamic state out of Nigeria, and has been since emerging in the country in 2009.

"Five persons burned beyond recognition were certified dead, while 12 others sustained various degrees of injuries," Bauchi police spokesman Haruna Mohammed said in a statement.

"The entire surrounding (area) has been cordoned off ... No arrest has yet been made, but an investigation has commenced."
