Rescued Chibok Girl, Amina Ali Says She Misses Home And Her Boko Haram Husband, Mohammed

Amina Ali Nkekei, one of the kidnapped Chibok girls, who was found alongside a child, identified to be her baby and a man, Mohammed Hayatu, (read here) her abductors and father of her baby has revealed she wants to go home to meet her family in Borno state.

She also said she misses her Boko Haram husband, Mohammed Hayatu, and is still thinking about him three months after escaping the militants’ camp.

Recall that in May, Amina was found and rescued and since then, she has been kept in a secluded place in Abuja for what the presidency referred to as her “restoration process”.

During an Exclusive interview with Reuters, the teen mum of one said she misses her family and would like to go home.

“I just want to go home – I don’t know about school.

“I will decide about school when I get back, but I have no idea when I will be going home,” Ali said, speaking softly while staring at the ground.

Speaking of the father of her 4-month-old baby, Amina says she still thinks about him and that she is sad that she has been separated from him.

“I want him to know that I am still thinking about him. Just because we got separated, that does not mean that I don’t think about him” she said

In addition, Aminat also remembered her other mates who are still in BokoHaram captivity saying she hopes and pray that they will be set free some day.

“I think about them a lot. I would tell them to be hopeful and prayerful. In the same way God rescued me, he will also rescue them” she said

After her rescue, Binta Ali, Amina’s mother, spent two months with her before going home to Chibok. Last month, she said she feared for her daughter’s future. She said her daughter had wanted to further her education before being kidnapped, but now she was afraid of school and wanted a sewing machine to start a business making clothes.

Amina told her mother earlier this month that the girls, who are being held in Sambisa forest, were starved and resorted to eating raw maize, and that some had died in captivity, suffered broken legs or gone deaf after being too close to explosions.

“I am not scared of Boko Haram – they are not my God,” Ali said.
