‘none Of The Released Chibok Girls Was Sexually Abused’ - Politics
Not a single out of the 21 released Chibok schoolgirls was assaulted during the two years spent in Boko Haram captivity.
Quoting
a source close to negotiations to free the remaining of those abducted
in April 2014, NAN dismissed reports that the only girl who came back
with a child was impregnated by an insurgent.
The agency said the girl was pregnant before her abduction.
“The girl and her parents have confirmed this. The child is not a Boko Haram Child,” the source reportedly said.
“None of the girls released was sexually harassed or abused while in captivity by their abductors.
“The
current state of the girls is a source of joy as they are receiving the
best medical, psychological and other forms of support from the
authorities as directed by the federal government.
“All groups
including the families, The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) and Chibok
Community are happy with their condition as medical experts work to
address their health conditions.
“The girls have been visited by
members of International Committee of the Red Cross, which played a
great role in getting the girls freed.
“It is obvious to everyone
that having been in captivity, the girls were traumatised but since
their release, they are showing signs of recovery.”
Speculative
reports about the state of the freed captives, are said to be creating
stumbling blocks to further talks with the insurgents.
The
insurgents were said to be angry with government for breaching some
understanding reached with them when the 21 girls were being handed over
on October 13.
