There are unconfirmed speculations that those responsible for the kidnapping are members of Abu Musab Al-Barnawi's faction.

You will recall that Al-Barnawi, the son of Boko Haram founder Mohammed Yusuf, was made the leader of the sect by ISIS.

In a second raid around Dumba village which is close to Lake Chad, the terrorists also kidnapped 4 women again.

A source said “When the Boko Haram gunmen came for the money they realised he had left with everything and they decided to go after him on their motorcycles.

“They caught up with him near Dumba where they slaughtered him and shot dead 50 of his cattle.

“They took four women from the man’s family and the rest of the herd.”
