SCARY: See What Boko Haram Camp Returnee Says Missing Chibok Girls Now Do

Tabitha Adamu, 21, who was last week freed from Boko Haram hostage along with other women, has alleged that the missing Chibok girls have joined the terrorist group and become fighters.

According to The Nation, Tabitha said she mingled with the girls at various times in the sect’s camp.

Narrating her ordeal, Tabitha who said she was forced to marry one of the sect’s commanders and is now pregnant for him, said:

“They killed my father and brother. They took me along with my mother but at some point we were separated. Since then, I’ve not set my eyes on my mother. When he (Abu Kabir, my Boko Haram husband), wanted to marry me, he gave the women who were  taking care of us N5,000 as my bride price.

Before the marriage, I was asked to convert to Islam. I did so because many who refused were killed and they gave me a name (Samira). I answered the name but I know my true name is my real name. When we were rescued I told the soldiers that my name is Tabitha.

They asked me if I am one of the wives of the Boko Haram and I told them my story. They felt for me and they treated me well.

Many people asked me since we were liberated, particularly about the pregnancy. I don’t know the right answer to give because I actually do not know what to do. It has happened. I don’t know what the authorities would do about it but I think it is too late to abort it. But my prayer is that I give birth safely.”
