Abducted Schoolgirls Allegedly Married Off To Boko Haram Members

Over 200 students of the Government
Girls College abducted by the Boko
Haram sects on April 14, 2014 in
Borno are said to be married off to the
terrorists at the price of N2000.
This was made known by a leader of the
Chibok Elders Forum, Dr. Pogu Bitrus who
said:
“They ferried them in canoes to Cameroon
and Chad republic after they were wedded off
to Boko Haram members who bidded (sic)
and paid N2,000 each as dowries on their
heads.”
“The dowry was paid to their captors, the
very people who abducted them from their
school. One of them who married one of the
girls took her to a border town close to
Cameroon where villagers saw her.”
The Boko Haram members who have
assumed “ownership” of the students were
reported to have initially kept the girls at the
Boko Haram camps in the notorious
Sambisa Forest, then relocated them in
trucks to other locations following the battle
they had with the Military who had stormed
the forest in search of the girls where over 40
insurgents were killed.
Bitrus who also said sources in Cameroon
revealed most of the girls were now being
held at “an area where the Boko Haram
operates in Cameroon was in tears while
speaking to Daily trust urged all Nigerians to
join in the search of these missing girls.
He said: “If these captors are trying to
achieve a political point, I think the best
thing is for us to try to make sure that they
don’t succeed but from all indications they
are succeeding due to inaction of
government. It is helping these people in
achieving their objectives.”
Meanwhile the parents of the abducted girls
who had expressed their fear that their
children will be married out to their
abductors have given president Jonathan an
ult to rescimatumue the girls.
