Three of the girls have so far escaped from the terrorist
group, Boko Haram, who abducted over 200 girls from a government secondary
school in Chibok, Borno State on the night of April 14, 2014.
A clergy and expert on counter-terrorism, Oladimeji Thompson,
of The Omoluabi Network, who has been working with other groups to assist
victims of the abduction overcome their pains, gave a chilling narration based
on an account of one of the escapees.
He said, “One of the girls I interviewed was being molested
15 times by 15 men every day.” He said the girl was traumatised and confused.
“It’s obvious this girl needs to be managed. She looked
confused. She found it hard to talk to me but after much prodding; she
confessed to me that she was molested 15 times by 15 men throughout the time
she was with the Islamic insurgents before she could escape from their den.
“A girl who has been molested by 15 men every day, you say
you negotiate and gave her back and release a terrorist who will go out and
kill more. What negotiators do is to say that they must not tell their stories,
they blanket all the information. In a situation like this, it is the Boko
Haram that wins more.”
