Chibok Girls Are Alive; Many Impregnated, Carrying VVF, Other Diseases – Escapee Chibok Girl Reveals

There were indications weekend that many of the 200 girls of the
Government Secondary School, Chibok abducted in April 2014, are alive
and holed up in the Lake Chad region of the North-East epicentre of
the battle to dislodge Boko Haram terrorists from Nigeria.

Sources disclosed to Vanguard that the girls who were relocated from
the initial Sambisa Camps of the terrorists, following unrelenting
bombardments by air and land operations, have been relocated to Lake
Chad area with some of the girls spread along border communities.
Vanguard reports that about two weeks ago, one of the abducted girls
who was formerly kept in a Sambisa forest camp, escaped from the hands
of the abductors and ran into the hands of some Fulani herdsmen. It
was the Fulani herdsmen having confirmed that the girl was a Chibok
girl, who assisted her to get to the Baga military base of the
multi-national Joint Task Force.

At the Baga base, the escapee girl was said to have confessed that
many of them were forcefully married to the terrorists who not only
impregnated them but infected some of them with different diseases. On
her part, she was not only impregnated, but she got the VVF disease
from one of the terrorists.

According to the escapee, at the camp where she escaped from there
were about 60 of the girls while others were shared and moved to
border communities.
Narrating more tales of woes on what the Chibok girls went through and
are still going through in the hands of the terrorists, the source
said though the Chibok girl had just put to bed, the VVF (Vesicant
Virginal Fistula) disease with which she was infected by the terrorist
had made her uncomfortable hence her decision to flee to seek for
medical help, as she was repeatedly passing solid waste
uncontrollably.

Continuing, the source said, "When the Fulani herdsman saw the girl in
the bush and questioned her about her mission, she narrated her
experience, which made the herdsman to take her to the soldiers in
that area. With her escape, there are now 59 of the girls left in her
camp."

Emphasizing that almost all of the girls have been married out to the
Boko Harram terrorists while quite a number of them have delivered
babies, the escapee told security agencies that the girls were always
moved from place to place in the Sambisa forest during the
bombardments but that when the heat was too much, they were all moved
out of the forest.

The escapee further disclosed to security agencies that Boko Haram
terrorists have been seriously weakened and are now moving from place
to place aimlessly like lost sheep, planting mines and IEDs
(improvised explosive devices) which some security forces have
mistakenly fallen prey to.

"All of us were forced to become Muslims but kept in camps far from
each other", she revealed. "You can only see and recognize those in
your camp as any of us who refused being Islamized was either beheaded
or shot at point blank range."

She revealed further that the camps where the Chibok girls are now
kept are in Kangoora, Mallam Fatori, Damasak, Tunbun Kaka and Tumbum
Gira. Many of these towns are located in the border communities around
Lake Chad with some in Nigeria and others in Chad.
