A Woman has waved anonymity to speak out about her ordeal in the hands of Boko Haram fighters. In a pathetic account, the woman told of how she was made to host several men at different times of the day, so much that when she became pregnant, she could not say this is the father.
A Woman has waved anonymity to speak out about her ordeal in the hands of Boko Haram fighters. In a pathetic account, the woman told of how she was made to host several men at different times of the day, so much that when she became pregnant, she could not say this is the father.
She said, everyday different fighters came and had sex with her at different times of the day, even a she was made to cook their foods and did their house held.
In a touchy account published by NigeriaCamera, Asabe Aliyu (above), a 23 year old lady from a village near Chibok said she is unable to identify which of the men fathered her child.
Read the account as published by Nigeria Camera:
A woman has told how Boko Haram turned her into a ‘sex machine’ as it is revealed 214 among a group of 500 women and girls rescued from the militants have returned pregnant. Asabe Aliyu is a 23-year-old mother of four children from Delsak, a village near Chibok town in northeastern Nigeria.
She was abducted from her village six months ago when it was overrun by Boko Haram and taken to the extremist’s stronghold in the Sambisa Forest.
After a series of sexual assaults on her by different men committed day after day, she was forced into marrying one of the fighters. ‘They turned me into a sex machine. They took turns to sleep with me. Now, I am pregnant and I cannot identify the father.
‘With my condition as a pregnant woman, I did the cooking of their food.’
Among a group of 534 girls rescued from Boko Haram 214 are pregnant and many are living with the horror of carrying their rapists’ babies.
Like Asabe, many were treated as ‘sex slaves’ by the militants and arrived starving and traumatised at makeshift army and government camps after trekking through the bush for up to two days.
They had been held in the Sambisa Forest before government forces moved in and the extremists fled, leaving hundreds of women to fend for themselves.
Around 700 have been freed from the clutches of the terror group in recent weeks.
They had been held in horrendous conditions after being abducted by Nigeria’s homegrown Islamic extremists.
