The Nigeria Police has denied claims by Boko Haram that it abducted some female officers.

Police Public Relations Officer, Moshood Jimoh denied the claim during an in interview with Daily Sun.

Jimoh said that facts and intelligence available to the police showed that aside from the two police personnel who lost their lives during an ambush by the terrorists, it does not have the record of missing personnel. 

The police spokesman also said the police was yet to see the video released by the terrorists in which they claim to have two female officers in captivity. 

“We have not seen the video, but the situation report from the commissioner of police in charge of Borno State Command, is that during the attack, one policeman was missing and one was killed.  That is what we have,” Jimoh said. 

“So there is no policeman in the captivity of Boko Haram, because if there was, the commissioner who addressed the press on the matter would have mentioned it. Where did they get that propaganda from? But I think some other civilians might also be missing from the attacks.”
