Boko Haram: I want to go back to my husband in Sambisa – Rescued 9-year-old girl cries out

Hehehe....na wa ooo....A Boko Haram female victim, who was reportedly rescued from Sambisa forest in Maiduguri, Borno state recently, has cried out, insisting that she wants to go back to her husband, (a Boko Haram member).


The nine-year-old girl was reportedly among the 65 young girls rescued by the troops.
Meanwhile, 12 other rescued girls have been discovered to be pregnant while others have already given birth.

On her insistence, the minor allegedly recently embarked on hunger strike, saying she wanted to go back to Sambisa forest to reunite with her Boko Haram husband.
This was disclosed on Friday when Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state visited the headquarters of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army, Maimalari Cantonment to officially receive the Boko Haram hostages by the General Officer Commanding, GOC, Major General Victor Ezegwu.
According to the GOC, the ongoing ‘operation crackdown’ in Sambisa forest which commenced about a week ago was recording successes.
He said many of the insurgents have been killed by troops with the recovery of chunks of arms and ammunitions at Balaza, Walasa, Banki and other surrounding villages.

Ezegwu noted that most of the rescued hostages comprising 27 children and over 30 young girls with few women including two Cameroonians have been indoctrinated by the sect as many of them claimed they have been with the sect for the past three years, and were willing to go back to Sambisa to meet their husbands.
While briefing the Governor at the Youth centre in Maimalari Cantonment, venue of the official handing over of the hostages to the Borno State Government, the GOC also stated that during the crackdown, over 300 persons held by the insurgents in Dikwa, Gamboru, Ngala, Kala Balge axis have been rescued and handed over to their families in Dikwa resettlement camp, while 300 cattle rustled by the sect have been returned to their real owners.
In his response, the Governor commended the military and other security agencies for storming the heart of Sambisa Forest, which according to him will see to the end of the insurgents deadly activities in the north east.
He added that his government will do everything possible with the scarce resources at its disposal to support the military in order to put an end the Boko Haram madness in the state.
