notes: Suspected Boko Haram militants have abducted more than 60 women and girls in Kummabza village in the Damboa district of Borno state. Four villagers, who tried to escape were shot dead on the spot. The abduction could be an attempt by the group to refocus attention on its demands for the release of militant fighters - Boko Haram has indicated that it would be willing to release the 219 schoolgirls that it has held hostage since April 14 in exchange for the freedom of its brothers in arms currently held in Nigerian jails.
