Jennifer, an orphan was abducted along with several others, including Hannatu Sebastin Ishaya, in an ambush along Monguno-Maiduguri road on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2019.

Maren condemned the kidnap of Jennifer, working with Alliance for International Medical Action.
“This came as a brutal shock to us, and as a representative of the peaceful people of this constituency, my heart bleeds”, Maren said in a statement.
“This is particularly so as reports say another indigene of Bokkos was three weeks ago kidnapped by the same insurgents in the North-East.
“I am pained that for the third time in three months, four of my innocent constituents have been abducted by Boko Haram in Borno.
“These are harmless citizens who by reason of their professional callings have found themselves working in the troubled region, providing humanitarian help to victims of insurgency.
