Three
months after escaping the terrorists' camp, Amina Ali Nkeki, the
escaped Chibok girl, says she misses her Boko Haram fighter husband.
Escaped Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki says she misses her Boko Haram
fighter husband and is still thinking about him three months after
escaping the militants' camp.
Amina Ali, who was held hostage by the terrorist group for more
than two years, says she was married off a year into her ordeal and
later had a baby girl, Safiya.
The couple and their daughter were found on the outskirts of
Nigeria's Sambisa Forest in May. She says they fled the camp by
themselves and were not rescued by the Nigerian military, contrary to
reports.
Her husband, identified as Mohammed Hayatu at the time of their
escape, told a witness that he too had been kidnapped by Boko Haram. He
was placed in military detention for interrogation by Nigeria's joint
intelligence center.
Amina Ali says she has no idea where he is now and is keen to be reunited with him. "I'm not comfortable with the way I'm being kept from him," the painfully shy 21-year-old told CNN, speaking to the media for the first time at an undisclosed location in Abuja Tuesday.
Addressing the father of her child directly, she says: "I want
you to know that I'm still thinking about you, and just because we are
separated doesn't mean I have forgotten about you."
Her statements came two days after the terrorist group released a
grisly video showing the dead bodies of young women, taken in the
aftermath of what Boko Haram says was a Nigerian airstrike.
Amina Ali says a dozen captives died in a bombing more than a year
ago, which suggests that the footage is not new, according to a
spokesman for Nigeria's National Security Advisor.
Amina Ali was one of 276 schoolgirls abducted at gunpoint from
their boarding school in Chibok in April 2014, by Boko Haram fighters.
As many as 57 girls were able to escape almost immediately, but more
than 200 remain missing.
She refuses to talk about the attack, saying only she cannot
remember what happened that fateful day. For a year after they were
taken, the abducted girls were kept together, she says. Then some of the
teenagers -- including her -- were "given" to the terrorists as wives.
She says she was desperate to see her mother again and that the thought gave her the courage and strength to flee the camp.
Asked how she felt about becoming a mother herself while in
captivity, her face clouds over and, speaking through an interpreter,
she insists: "I don't want to answer."
