Chibok Girls: Fear Confirmed As 18 Out Of 21 Released, Returned As Mothers

 21 Chibok girls who were released by Boko Haram today, 18 of them are reported to be nursing mothers believed to be born to Boko Haram terrorists, according to reports.

The girls were among more than 200 who were abducted from the Federal Government Girls College (FGGC) in Chibok, Borno state in April 2014.

This development further confirms fears that the young girls were turned to sex slaves by the terrorists during their time in captivity.
