| I Was Married to 8 Terrorists, Says Pregnant Chibok Girl with 2 Kids |
Ihyi Abdul, the most recently released victim of the April 2014 Chibok abduction in Borno State, revealed that she was married to eight men during her time in Boko Haram captivity.
According to Daily Trust, 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.
During a presentation at Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri, the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Maj-Gen. Waheed Shuaibu, stated that 27-year-old Ehi Abdul, who is three months pregnant, was rescued on June 23, 2024, along with her two children in Sambisa Forest.
Speaking to journalists at the headquarters of Operation Hadin Kai Theater Command in Maimalari barracks, Maiduguri, she said, “I trekked for days before reaching 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 earlier because I did not want to until now.
“We Chibok girls are not kept in the same camp, and I don’t know why some are still in captivity, but some of us chose to remain in Sambisa, while others have not had the chance to escape.
“As for education, I cannot say anything for now, but I am not sure I can continue with education.”
