The Nigerian Army has described as false a story which alleged that Boko Haram attacked Pulka and abducted 22 women.
Brigadier General Sani Usman, army spokesman said on Saturday that the story was “completely false and should be ignored.”
His statement reads:“The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a news story circulating on Social Media and some mainstream media that suspected Boko Haram terrorists have allegedly attacked Pulka and abducted 22 women, attributing it to an unidentified Bulama as source.
“We wish state that the report is completely false and should be ignored.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Pulka and its environs is heavily fortified and there has not been any security breach in the area.
