The Islamist militant group Boko Haram kidnapped 40 boys and young men -- ages 10 to 23 -- from a village in the northeastern Nigerian state of Borno.
It is said that the terrorists arrived in the village of Malari carrying assault rifles and then preached to them about the group's extremist
ideology before forcibly taking 40 hostages and driving toward the Sambisa forest on December 31.
It took days for information on this mass abduction to emerge due to poor communications stemming from the destruction of cell phone towers in previous Boko Haram attacks.
Boko Haram kidnapped at least 97 young men and boys in a deadly raid in August in and around the village of Doron Baga.
