After 306 days of Chibok girls’ abduction, 13 parents of those kidnapped by Boko Haram girls have died due to stress-related illnesses.
According to an online report by the Associated Press (AP), there are hundreds of other girls and boys that have been abducted in different villages across the three northeastern states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe since the Chibok incident.
The AP reports that the Boko Haram sect now sees mass kidnappings as a shining symbol of success. Consequently, the militants brag to their new captives about the surrender of the Chibok girls, their conversion to Islam and their marriage to fighters.
A 15-year-old girl, Abigail John, who was held by Boko Haram for more than four weeks before escaping, said that “they told her the Chibok girls have a new life where they learn to fight”. “They said we should be like them and accept Islam,” she added.
Fidgeted Abigail recounted how one fighter, nicknamed ’Tall Arab”, was set on marrying her. She pleaded that she was too young, but was told, “Do you think you are better than those Chibok girls that we kidnapped?”
The man told her the Chibok girls had turned against their parents, and were “ready to slit their parents’ throats” if they ever saw them again.
He added that the the Chibok girls were all Muslims now, and some were training as fighters to fight women, which Boko Haram men are not supposed to do.
She added that when the Nigerian air force dropped a bomb on the house where she and others were confined, she tried to escape. She stated that she wrestled with the fighters, but they broke her arm and hauled her off to another house. However, later she and others were eventually able to escape and made their way to safety, aided by some villagers who saw them.
President Goodluck Jonathan, had on Wednesday, during a live media chat told the nation that the Chibok girls would be recovered alive in a few weeks. Details on the Leadership.
