A 23 year old pregnant mother of four, Asabe Aliyu who was rescued from
Sambisa Forest by the military last week says she does not know the
father of her unborn child as Boko Haram men took turns in sleeping with
her while she was held captive in their camp
"I was abducted six months ago in Delsak when our village was overrun by
Boko Haram. First I had sojourned from my village to a forest close to
Cameroun, they turned me into a sex machine. They took turns to sleep
with me. Now, I am pregnant and I cannot identify the father. With my
condition as a pregnant woman, I did the cooking of their food” she told Expdonaloaded blog amid tears.
The stories from the women are heartbreaking as they tell stories of
sadness and untold hardship.
Lami Musa, another returnee recalled how she was abducted when she was
four months pregnant. According to her, she had not had a bath nor given
her daughter a bath since she give birth in the sect members camp three
days ago
“They adducted the whole of my family and killed my husband at Kilkasa
forest when I was four months pregnant. They took us to Sambisa forest,
we were sleeping in an open field. For days, we went without water or
food. Three days ago, I gave birth to this baby girl. As I am talking to
you, I cannot ascertain the status of her health. I have not had a bath
since I was delivered of the baby. The baby is yet to be bathed too.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com
Another returnee, Maryamu Adamu from Michika in Adamawa state said she
was kidnapped from her village nine months ago and had not seen her
husband or children since she was abducted.
“I know I was dead, my existing now is just a mere shadow of life as
nothing moves me. But now that I am here, I confirm that I am a living
being.I thank God that I am alive. I thank God.”she said
Many of them have been taken to Internally displaced persons camp in
Malkoi, Adamawa state for gradual integration into the society.
