Suspected Boko Haram Islamists have kidnapped eight more girls from Nigeria's embattled northeast, residents said Tuesday, after the extremist group's leader claimed responsibility for abducting more than 200 schoolgirls last month.
"They moved door to door looking for girls," said Abdullahi Sani, referring to the late Sunday attack in the village of Warabe, Borno state. "They forcefully took away eight girls between the ages of 12 and 15," he added, in an account confirmed by other residents.
