Miss Susan Ishaya, one of the abducted Chibok
schoolgirls released this week by Boko Haram
insurgents, has been discovered to be four months
pregnant, confirming the fears of the public that the
female students who were kidnapped more than five
months ago are being raped and physically abused.
Chairman of the Chibok community in Abuja, Tsambido
Hosea Abana, confirmed the pregnancy yesterday
through a telephone interview with THISDAY, adding
that the insurgents were merciless to the point of
sexually violating and impregnating the innocent girl.
Susan was discovered on Wednesday morning near a
police station in Mubi, Adamawa State, after she was
brought there by villagers who found her near Biu in
Borno State.
She had been thrown out of a moving vehicle by her
captors and was left to wander for two days before she
was discovered by the villagers.
Abana confirmed that the girl was among the abducted
Chibok girls and had been moved from Mubi to the
Adamawa State police headquarters in Yola.
He revealed that the girl was psychologically
traumatised as there were signs of physical abuse on
her body, adding that he believed the insurgents
subjected their captives to severe sexual and physical
abuse.
“Susan is actually one of our daughters abducted from
Government Secondary School in Chibok. She was
found in Mubi after she was dumped by her abductors
and was later taken to Yola, and it is proved that the
girl is four months pregnant but psychologically and
physically traumatised,” he stated.
Abana urged the authorities handling Susan’s case to
expedite action by sending her to a good hospital for
proper medical attention.
He also called on the federal government to step up
efforts towards freeing the girls and re-uniting them
with their families.
