A girl believed to be one of the 219 Chibok schoolgirls in Boko Haram’s custody for more than 160 days has been found abandoned.
She was picked up at Kwarihi village near Biu in Borno State after being thrown out of a moving Volkswagen Golf car. She wandered in the bush for two days before she was rescued by villagers.
The Chairman of the Chibok community in Abuja, Hosea Tsambido, recounted this story yesterday.
He spoke at the gathering of the #BringBackOurGirls campaigners on a day Borno State Government announced a scholarship of N1.4million each for 36 girls – among the 57 who escaped on April 15 from abductors.
According to Tsambido, the abandoned girl, who gave her name as Susanna Ishaya, appeared mentally unstable. He said she had been handed over to one of the Chibok parents who took her to the hospital after which she would be properly questioned.
Tsambido said:
“One of the girls was ferried in a Volkswagen golf and thrown into the bush about two days ago and she wandered into the village of Kwarihi, near Mubi. From there they called one of the parents to take care of her in Kwarihi. They are taking her to Yola. When she was asked, she gave her name as Susanna Ishaya but right now we are not sure if it is her real name until she is really treated because the people that saw her said she is both mentally and phsycally sick and has been taken to the hospital. We believe that she was probably abandoned by Boko Haram because of her health.”
The Borno State Government yesterday granted scholarship to 36 of the 57 Chibok school girls who slipped away from Boko Haram abductors. As at yesterday, 219 Chibok girls were still in the custody of Boko Haram although there had been reported covert talks to set them free.
Governor Kashim Shettima said the 36 girls have been admitted into international schools in Abuja, Kaduna and Plateau States. Fifty one (51) of the girls were meant for admission after six secured a scholarship at an international school in Yola, Adamawa State. The governor said the government is spending a minimum of N1.4million annual fees on each of the schoolgirls in their new schools besides other costs for welfare.
The governor, who spoke at a brief farewell for the girls at the Government House in Maiduguri , pleaded not to disclose the names of the schools. He said the schools were kept under wrap in order to shield the girls from public distraction and to safeguard the security of the girls and the new schools.
