Some girls died during child birth, others killed by bomb attacks – Mother of abducted Chibok girl

Mother of one of the abducted Chibok school girls, Amina Ali, Binta Ali Nkeki, has disclosed that some of the abducted girls died during child birth while others were killed by bomb.
Amina Ali was one of the over 200 girls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents from Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State in 2014.

She, however, escaped from the den of the insurgents after two years in captivity.


Speaking with BBC, Mrs Nkeki while quoting her daughter said, “Some of the girls died in childbirth. Others were killed by bombs. Some girls were deafened by the explosions. Some of the girls were wounded and their legs were broken”.

She further quoted her daughter as saying, some of the girls were given out as wives to Boko Haram fighters.

“The man my daughter was given to was from Mubi. He was a mechanic when Boko Haram came. Everyone one ran away but he was under a car and didn’t see them coming. They captured him and Amina was given to him as wife,” she added.
