A rescued girl has recounted her encounter with some of the abducted
Chibok school girls in the north-eastern part of the country.
Some of the girls and women recently rescued by troops on Tuesday
said the Chibok schoolgirls who were kidnapped about two years ago by
insurgents are still alive, according to the Leadership.
Specifically, one of them simply identified as Zara, said she and
other abducted girls came
across some of the girls at a village called
Njimiya when they were escaping from insurgents during a military
onslaught.
‘‘When we got to Njimiya, we saw some girls fetching water. We spoke Kanuri to them. One of them later said in Hausa that they can’t speak Kanuri because they are from Chibok.’’
Zara, who is 5-month pregnant for a sect member, said some of the
schoolgirls were kept under a tarpaulin erected in thick foliage.
The girls said some of the girls seemed ‘married’ because they were pregnant.
“One of the Chibok girls who now called herself Hauwa, because
Boko Haram had given most of them new Islamic names, had recently
delivered a baby. Some of the girls were looking traumatized while some
looked okay and not worried about their conditions,’’ Zara said.
