KANO, May 7 (AFP): The number of Nigerian girls taken in the latest kidnapping by Boko Haram Islamists has risen to 11, an official in the restive northeast said Wednesday.
Residents initially said eight girls were taken when gunmen stormed a village in the Gwoza area of Borno state late Sunday.
Gwoza official Hamba Tada told AFP the attackers snatched three more girls in a neighbouring village.
