Chibok girl with military officers
By Abdullahi Abubakar
One of the Chibok girls who was abducted in April 2014 in Borno State, Ehi Abdu, has narrated why she was married to eight terrorists at different times while in Boko Haram captivity.
The 27-year-old lady said whenever her husband was eliminated or killed during operations, she would be married off to another terrorist.
While briefing journalists at the headquarters of Operation Hadin Kai Theater Command, at Maimalari barracks Maiduguri, she said, “I trekked for days before getting to a military checkpoint in Nigeria where they took me and my children in.
“I married eight men and gave birth to three children for different husbands. I did not escape all the while because I did not want to escape earlier until now.
“We the Chibok girls are not kept in the same camp, and I don’t know why they are still in captivity but those of us have chosen to remain in Sambisa, while others have not had the chance to escape.
“As for education, I cannot say anything for now but am not sure I can continue with education.”
It would be recalled that the Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai, handed over the rescued Chibok girl and 332 other individuals to the Borno State government for rehabilitation.
The 332 individuals, including 110 women and 220 children, were rescued from the Bama-Pulka axis during a clearance operation in Sambisa Forest.
At a presentation at Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri, the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Maj-Gen. Waheed Shuaibu, said 27-year-old Ehi Abdul, who is three months pregnant, was rescued on June 23, 2024, along with her two children in Sambisa Forest.
