The about 300 students abducted on April
14 from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, in Borno State are
passing through hard times, with some of them being r*ped up to 15 times
a day, one of those who escaped has disclosed.
According to a report published today by the British newspaper Daily Mirror, “Families of the schoolgirls, aged from 15 to 18, are certain their daughters are now being used as s*x slaves by an extreme sect that has killed 1,500 people since the start of this year alone.

“They are captives in the wild Sambisa
Forest in north-east Nigeria where Boko Haram has a heavily armed camp
of bunkers, tunnels, ramshackle buildings and tents.
“One girl who recently escaped following an earlier kidnapping said she was prized as a terror leader’s wife because she had been a vi*gin. She said young female captives were r*ped up to 15 times a day, forced to convert to Islam and had their throats cut if they refused.” The paper reports that “under President Goodluck Jonathan, the Nigerian government appears to have done little except issue an entirely false claim that most of the girls had been rescued by defence forces.”
It quotes Mma Odi, executive director of the Nigerian charity Baobab Women’s Human Rights, as saying: “It is a very bad situation for those girls. The men went to the school for no other reason than to make them their s*x objects. The men will have reduced them to s*x slaves, r*ping them over and over again. And any girl who tries to resist will be shot by them. They have no conscience.

“The conditions will be terrible and it
seems like the government has just abandoned them because they are girls
and they are poor. If they were the sons of the rich, the government
would act.
“Their abductors are not human beings and if the girls get out they will no longer be normal. They will have to have years of counselling to recover.” Buy Cheap Android Phones on Konga.com | Lowest Price in Nigeria

Also indicting the Nigerian military and
the Jonathan administration, Professor Hauwa Biu, a women’s rights
campaigner based at the University of Maiduguri, told Mirror: “They
claim they are on top of the situation, that they are in the bush, but
they are not there. If the government had acted straight away then they
could have followed the gunmen’s footsteps or tyre tracks, but over the
past weeks rain and leaves have fallen, covering them up.
“Meanwhile, nobody knows what kind of conditions they will be living in the camp.
“I cannot think what these girls must be going through.
“I have been told that the men feed them and treat them quite well, but we also know that other girls kidnapped have been highly molested.
“If the government had just acted straight away they could have saved these girls.”
The number of stolen girls has yet to become clear. It was previously put at over 100 but yesterday the Nigerian police said 223 girls are still missing after 53 managed to escape. Mirror, however, insists that 329 girls were abducted and that 276 are still missing.
