God is surely working in mysterious ways as 63 women who were abducted by Boko Haram have managed to escape.

In what could be some peace of good news in the country in this time of terror attacks and crisis, reports have emerged that 63 women abducted by the dreaded Islamic terror sect, Boko Haram, have managed to escape. The women were some of those kidnapped a month ago from Kummabza village in the Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.

The women who, according to the security sources, have been reunited with their families, took their escape into their hands when the insurgents left them in the camp to embark on an operation where they attacked military formations last Friday.

The women seeing that as an opportunity for them to flee, seized the moment and made good their escape.

Security sources and villagers who saw the women, told journalists that 63 out of the 70 abducted women had escaped from captivity and made their way back home.

Some residents of the villages where the women were abducted told journalists that the women who looked unkempt returned home on Saturday.

One Adamu Suleiman, a member of the youth vigilante group told newsmen:

I have just received an alert from my colleagues in Damboa area that about 63 of the abducted women and girls had made it back home. They took to their heels when their captors left them at the camp to go for a major operation.

We don’t have the details of their escape yet, but we believe God gave them the opportunity at the time the insurgents came in their large numbers to attack Damboa on Friday.

We still believe seven women could still be in the camp or perhaps something must have happened to them.
