Chibok School Girls Abduction by Boko Haram Insurgents- Latest Story about one of them who has just escaped

One of the 276 abducted Chibok schoolgirls
whisked away by Boko Haram insurgents in April
has been released by the terrorists.
The freed teenager who was identified as Susan
Ishaya was said to have been released on Sunday,
September 21 set free by her captors.
According to reports from Business Day, Enoch
Mark, the chairman, Association of Abducted
Chibok Girls’ Parents, told BusinessDay on
telephone that the teenage girl who, he said, was
at the moment traumatized arrived Chibok late
Sunday having spent four days between the place
she was set free and Chibok.
He said: “I have been instructed to take
her to Adamawa police command in Yola
where she would be medically taken care
of. She is traumatized at the moment
because her speech is not coordinated. As
I speak to you now, I am on my way to
Adamawa. When she is stabilized I will
encourage her to speak to you. The young
lady with me here should not be up to 20
years”, he said.
Enoch, with the daughters still at the
mercy of the Islamist sect, said it was the
insurgents that dropped the girl off at the
point where they asked her to find her way
and that she wondered round many
hamlets for four days before she was able
to locate Chibok.
“Let me be clear to you, the military has
nothing to do whatsoever about her
release. It was the insurgents who decided
to show her mercy, lest anybody takes the
glory of her freedom. Whatever the military
might be doing now is rather too late. The
damage has been done already. I shed
tears when I saw her. A girl of less than
20 has suddenly turned old woman. We
pray others including my two daughters
would be set free soon. By the time she is
fully rested we should be able to get some
information from her”, he said.
It would be recalled that the military on
Tuesday claimed to have rescued some of
the girls. Shortly after, it retracted its
statement.
Army spokesman, Brig-Gen Chris
Olukolade, had told the BBC there were
girls in military custody, but not those
from Chibok as originally thought.
The abduction of the girls had caused
worldwide outrage and sparked a social
media campaign.
Protests were organised under the hashtag
#BringBackOurGirls, calling on the Federal
Government to do more to free the girls,
who had gone to the school in Chibok
from surrounding areas to take their final
year exams.
Shortly after the abduction, Boko Haram
released a video showing more than 100
of them and offering an exchange for
prisoners.
In recent days there have been
unconfirmed reports that the government
has been negotiating a deal with Boko
Haram to exchange the abducted girls for
imprisoned Islamist fighters.
