Boko Haram members kidnap young boys in North Nigeria

Heavily armed men who are suspected to be Boko Haram members abducted dozens of boys and men from a village, Doron Baga, in northeast Nigeria.

 After loading them onto trucks and driving them off more 97 people have not been accounted for. Several witnesses who fled after Sunday's raid on Doron Baga, a sandy fishing village near the shores of Lake Chad, said militants clothed in military and police uniforms had burned several houses.

 According to an eyewitness, Halima Adamu, "They left no men or boys in the place; only young children, girls and women. They were shouting ,'Allah Akbar' (God is greatest), shooting sporadically. There was confusion everywhere. 

 "They started packing our men and boys into their vehicles, threatening to shoot whoever disobey them. Everybody was scared."
