Woman found near Mubi in Adamawa not part of the Chibok girls

A young woman found wandering in a bush near Mubi in Adamawa State on September 24 and alleged to be part of the Chibok girls have been found not be one of the abducted school girls.  But rather was abducted four months earlier.

A source said the girl told the authorities that she was abducted four months earlier than the school girls in a separate raid.

She is said to be a 23-year-old woman from Mubi who was abducted by Boko Haram and taken to Sambisa forest where they have their enclave.  While there, she was given as a wife to one of the Boko Haram insurgents called Muhammed.  She was said to be already married before Boko Haram abducted her.

The woman said while in Sambisa forest she became pregnant and fell sick.  And that on September 19, her new Boko Haram husband’s friends bundled her into a car and dumped her in the bush where she wandered for days before she was eventually rescued near a village called Plofu and taken to a police station in Mubi.

When asked why her new husband and his friends abandoned her in the bush, she said that is the normal practice of Boko Haram.  That they use women as sex slaves and that any time a woman falls sick and they suspect she may not survive, they will take her into the bush and abandon her.
