Juliana Christopher, a former kidnap victim who escaped from Boko Haram captivity, has said many of the schoolgirls abducted in April 2014 from Government Secondary School for girls in Chibok, Borno State are either pregnant or nursing children belonging to the insurgents.
Christopher, a student of the College of Business and Management Studies in Konduga, spent three weeks in Boko Haram camp after she was kidnapped from her school by the insurgents.
She said the terrorists, who were in military fatigues, stormed her school in Borno State and abducted her and her colleagues, taking them into the forest where she met other victims who were pregnant and nursing babies of the Boko Haram insurgents.
“On reaching their camp, we met many young girls there and the whole place was in disarray. It was in 2014 and I was in the Boko Haram camp for three weeks. We met Chibok girls in the camp. While in the camp, I saw so many small girls, who were kidnapped. Some were being molested,” she said in a The PUNCH interview.
“Some were carrying children, while others were pregnant for the Boko Haram insurgents. It was a disgusting thing. Fortunately for me and some other girls, we escaped from the forest and found our way back to Chibok.”
She explained that her father took ill shortly after she was kidnapped, adding that efforts to rescue him proved abortive.
