Wednesday, July 24, 2024- Abdul, the recently released victim of the April 2014 abduction in Chibok, Borno State, says she was married to eight men while in Boko Haram captivity and had three children with different fathers.
The Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin
Kai, handed over the rescued Chibok girl and 332 other individuals to the Borno
State government for rehabilitation.
The 332 individuals, including 110
women and 220 children, were rescued from the Bama-Pulka axis during a
clearance operation in Sambisa Forest.
At a presentation at Maimalari
Cantonment in Maiduguri, the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Maj-Gen.
Waheed Shuaibu, said 27-year-old Ihyi Abdul, who is three months pregnant, was
rescued on June 23, 2024, along with her two children in Sambisa Forest.
Speaking to journalists at the
headquarters of Operation Hadin Kai Theater Command, at Maimalari barracks
Maiduguri, Ihyi Abdul said, “I trekked for days before getting to a military
checkpoint in Nigeria where they took me and my children in.
“I married eight men and gave birth
to three children for different husbands. I did not escape all the while
because I did not want to escape earlier until now.
“We the Chibok girls are not kept in
the same camp, and I don’t know why they are still in captivity but those of us
have chosen to remain in Sambisa, while others have not had the chance to
escape.
“As for education, I cannot say anything
for now but am not sure I can continue with education.”
