Boko Haram planning to kidnap foreigners | UK, US warn

The United Kingdom and United States on Friday said terrorists group Boko Haram was preparing to kidnap foreigners in the North East, AFP reports.

The Foreign Office in London said it had received reports the Islamist militants were “actively planning” to seize foreign workers in the Bama local government area of Borno state.

The US embassy in Abuja said in a message to its nationals that the report was “credible”.

Boko Haram has kidnapped thousands of women and children, including more than 200 schoolgirls from the Borno town of Chibok in 2014, which brought the conflict to world attention.

At least 20,000 people have been killed since 2009.
