The abductees were supervising the 45-kilometre road, before the insurgents took them, along with three laterite and sand-carrying trucks and a Hilux vehicle into the Sambisa Forest.

Meanwhile, one of the staff was able to escape unhurt.

The terror group during the week released different pictures of how the abduction took place.

It also released pictures of a police officer, and two other abductees.

Since the death of factional leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around the Lake Chad.

Just recently, it appointed Wali Sani Shuwaram, a 45-year-old as the new Leader (Wali) of ISWAP in Lake Chad.

The sect’s membership has swollen with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters under Shekau.

The Nigerian Army has repeatedly claimed that insurgency had been largely defeated and frequently underplays any losses.

The terror group has caused over 50,000 deaths and displaced millions of individuals mainly in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states.
