Newly rescued Chibok girl Maryam Ali Maiyanga and her 10-month-old son
have been handed over to the Borno state government. Maryam was rescued
near Pulka in Gwoza local government area of Borno state yesterday
morning by troops. Speaking during the handing over, the Theatre
Commander of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Major Gen. Lucky Irabor said Maryam
had informed them that her predator and father of her son, was killed
in one of the military operations at Sambisa forest.
"She revealed to our troops that her Boko Haram "husband" who is the
father of her 10-month old baby named Ali was killed during one of the
military operations in Sambisa Forest. I believe, and we are hopeful
that all the other captives would be released. This has come, and it has
strengthened our hope that the rest would be rescued" he said.
Members of the Chibok community have confirmed that Maryam is indeed one
of the missing Chibok schoolgirls. They however said that Maryam's twin
sister who was kidnapped also has not been rescued.
