Four kidnapped women have been subjected to horrific abuse by suspected terrorists, who used the muzzle of an AK-47 rifle to repeatedly strike them on the forehead after ordering them to remove their hijabs, SaharaReporters has learned.

In a disturbing video obtained by SaharaReporters, one of the armed men is seen moving from one abducted woman to another, using the tip of his rifle to hit each woman forcefully on the forehead.

The women, visibly traumatised and in severe pain, endure the assault in silence as the blows continue.

Despite the women’s quiet suffering, the terrorists did not stop.

As one of the victims could no longer bear the pain and burst into tears, a voice is heard in the background of the video, speaking in Hausa language, saying, “Leave it, it is okay.”

However, the brief remark did not halt the violence.

Blood could be seen dripping from the women’s foreheads as they cried uncontrollably.

In the same video, the women collectively pleaded with the general public for help, begging for their lives and appealing to the conscience of anyone who might see or hear their cries.

“Please help us, we want to survive by leaving here. We are begging you in the name of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Please help us,” one of the women cried out, her voice shaking.

“Please help us out to get out of this place. For God’s sake, please help us. If you really want us out alive, please look at the situation we are in.”

Even as the women continued to plead, the terrorist behind the camera kept hitting them with the rifle, ignoring their cries and worsening their injuries. The victims could be heard sobbing loudly, overwhelmed by pain and fear.

“Please help us, for God’s sake,” one of them said, crying. “If you really want us to be alive, please help us.”

As of the time of filing this report, it remains unclear where the women were abducted from or which terrorist group is responsible for the attack. Security agencies have yet to issue an official statement on the video.
