How Boko Haram Fed Us -- Rescued Woman

One of the women recently rescued by the Nigerian military forces from
Boko Haram insurgents in Sambisa forest has revealed how the
insurgents fed her and the other captives.

Speaking to Channels TV, Aishatu said the insurgents did not feed the
captives health diets. She said they were fed rice and oil.

She said; "We were fed with white rice and oil but nobody touched us
or came near us except the boy that usually gives us food and water.
We were about 18 in the village"

Narrating her how the insurgents captured she said the insurgents
raided her community on April 9, 2014 and captured her, her husband
and their six children.

She continued her story;"They took me at night around 2.00am on April
9, 2014. Myself, my husband and children were inside the compound.

"They took my husband away and I don't know where he is, they brought
me and my children into the Sambisa forest, we spent two months inside
Sambisa forest, then they took us to another village where we spent
the wet season.

"We were taken to another village in Gwoza where we spent one month,
but we did not see the Chibok girls, it was a week after they took us
to the Sambisa forest they took the Chibok girls, we did not see each
other.

"They carried away two of my children (boys) till now I have not seen
them together with my neighbour's children."

Aishatu was interviewed in one of the camps for the rescued 275 women
and children in Malcoi, Yola South Local Government Area or Adamawa
State in north-east Nigeria.

Over the past three weeks, the military have rescued more than 400
women from the insurgents but have been confirmed as one of the
kidnapped girls.

The military initially rescued 293 girls and women, then later the
defense headquarters announced the rescue of additional captives.

Following on their rescue operations, the military continued on the
