A sixteen-year old girl, who managed to escape from Boko Haram captivity and return home, is now hated by heartless local villagers, who would be happy if she was dead.

A sixteen-year-old girl, abducted by Boko Haram militants half a year ago, managed to escape from captivity and come back home. But there she had to find out that now local villagers hate her, only because she was forced into marriage in captivity and was impregnated by Boko Haram “husband” she hated.

The girl, who wanted to remain anonymous out of fear of revenge, told the press that she was planning her escape from the moment she was abducted by Boko Haram militants, but managed to do that only after spending six months in captivity, when her captors’ vigilance began to slip.
