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
