According to security analyst Bakatsine, four women were abducted during the attack. One of them, heavily pregnant at the time, delivered a baby boy while in captivity. The newborn did not survive, Bakatsine added.
The mother is also said to be suffering from severe bleeding, raising fears for her condition as she remains in captivity.
