Just as feared, the Boko Haram insurgents have been taking sexual advantage of the schoolgirls they abducted Government Secondary School, Chibok.
One of the abductees, Miss Susan Ishaya, who was released earlier this week by the insurgents, was found to be four months pregnant.
Miss was discovered on Wednesday morning near a police station in Mubi, Adamawa State, after she was brought there by villagers who found her near Biu in Borno State.
She had been thrown out of a moving vehicle by her captors and was left to wander for two days before she was discovered by the villagers.
Miss Ishaya, along with over 200 of her school mates, were abducted on April 14, 2014 and kept in captivity.
The foremost fear of the public about the female students is that these girls would turned into sex toys by the devil-inspired insurgents.
Reports quoted the Chairman of the Chibok community in Abuja, Tsambido Hosea Abana, as confirming the pregnancy of Miss Ishaya.
According to This Day account, Abana also confirmed that the girl was among the abducted Chibok girls and had been moved from Mubi to the Adamawa State police headquarters in Yola.
He revealed that the girl was psychologically traumatised as there were signs of physical abuse on her body, adding that he believed the insurgents subjected their captives to severe sexual and physical abuse.
“Susan is actually one of our daughters abducted from Government Secondary School in Chibok. She was found in Mubi after she was dumped by her abductors and was later taken to Yola, and it is proved that the girl is four months pregnant but psychologically and physically traumatised,” he stated.
Abana urged the authorities handling Susan’s case to expedite action by sending her to a good hospital for proper medical attention
He also called on the federal government to step up efforts towards freeing the girls and re-uniting them with their families.
However, there was a fresh twist to the discovery of Susan when Abana later informed THISDAY that the girl was psychologically unstable, adding that her true identity had not yet been determined.
Abana explained that records of the girl who initially identified herself as Susan Ishaya could not be traced, but said some Chibok parents had been detailed to the police state command in Yola to identify her.
“I don’t know her actual condition since I didn’t see her in person. However, I can confirm to you that she has psychological problems. She couldn’t even answer questions before breaking into tears. She has been given various names,” he said.
Abana added that she initially identified herself as Susan Ishaya, “but we couldn’t trace a name like that. We have Susan Yakubu and Hana Ishaya, so we have detailed some Chibok parents to Yola to carry out proper identification”.
Also, Enoch Mark, an elder from the kidnapped schoolgirls’ hometown of Chibok told AFP that the name the girl gave was not among the 219 missing.
“Her name is not on the list so we don’t know,” said Mark, who had seen the girl in Yola.
“She’s in trauma. She couldn’t speak. We picked her up in the bush. We suspected that she was one of the abducted girls. But she’s not from Chibok. The police officer made a mistake.”
