One of the 276 abducted schoolgirls of Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State, Amina Ali Nkeki, has revealed that some of her classmates she was kidnapped with on April 14, 2014, but who are still being held by the Boko Haram Terrorists, have four children each.
She revealed this and more on a Channels Television programme: “Sunrise Daily,” on the 10th anniversary of their abduction.
Nkeki, who regained freedom in 2016 with a baby and a Boko Haram fighter who claimed to be her husband, said: “Some of them are mothers of three children, four children.
“It’s not easy for them.
“I feel so sad because that place is not a good place for anyone.”
The 200-level student of Mass Communication at a university in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, said of her baby: “She is fine.
“She is living here in Yola.”
On how she escaped in 2016, Nkeki said: “I escaped when soldiers were in the forest to fight those Boko Haram people.
“They (insurgents) were running to the bush to hide and we (the hostages) also ran.
“After that, we went our own way.
“That was how we escaped, but because of how big the bush was and we didn’t know our way, it took us one month plus before we came out (of the forest).”
On why she agreed to marry a Boko Haram fighter, Nkeki said: “For me, I married so that I will get freedom to go where I wanted and from there, I will escape.

“They told us that if we didn’t agree to marry them, we were going to be their slaves.
“So, because of that fear, some of us thought instead of being slaves, let’s get married.
“That’s how some people decided to get married.
“And some people took all the risk.
“Some of us got married, maybe it will be a way to escape, most especially a person like me.”
