Boko Haram abducts high court judge, wife in Borno

A High Court Judge, Justice Haruna Mshelia and his wife, have allegedly been abducted by members of the dreaded Boko Haram terror sect.

Sahara Reporters reports that counter insurgency expert Zagazola Makama who made this known on Monday, disclosed that the abduction occurred along Biu to Maiduguri road in Borno State when the judge was travelling in his vehicle.

Zagazola revealed that Mshelia’s driver and security escort were also taken by the Boko Haram terrorists and whisked into the Sambisa Forest.

“As they approached a curve in the road between Burutai and Buni-Gari, a group of armed men emerged from the bushes, their weapons blazing and barricaded the road.

“The judge’s vehicle screeched to a halt, then attempted to maneuver its way to escape. In the chaos that ensued, Justice Mshelia’s vehicle was stopped by another team of insurgents,” he said.
