The Kidnapped Chibok School Girls Are In Gwoza, Says Freed Boko Haram Abductee by OKDnigeria: 5:55pm On Mar 25, 2015
Over 200 girls abducted in Chibok in April 2014 are being held in Gwoza town in Borno State, a woman who was recently released by the Boko Haram sect has told the icirnigeria.org.
She said she was held in the same location as the abducted Chibok girls.
Mbutu Papka, 56, who was kidnapped in July 2014 and held by the insurgents for eight months in two locations, said confidently that the abducted girls were being held under very tight security in a house in Gwoza.
Ms. Papka said nobody is allowed near the fenced building where the abducted girls are being held under 24-hour security. Even the heavily armed guards, who keep watch over the girls round the clock, it was learnt, are only allowed to go into the house to deliver food, water and other supplies to them.

The woman was seized along with others when Boko Haram attacked Gwoza on July 4, 2014 and taken to Mdita, a remote village near the notorious Sambisa Forest, bordering Askira Uba, Damboa and Gwoza.

The abductees, who included many children, according to Ms. Papka, were kept in Mdita for five months before being transferred to Gwoza, where they were held for three months before they were finally released on March 15.
It was while in Gwoza that she learnt that the Chibok Girls, whose abduction has attracted global attention, were being housed in a compound adjacent to where she and other abducted people were kept.

Asked how she knew the girls were there, Ms. Papka said she never saw the Chibok girls, but explained that people in the area pointed at the heavily guarded flat and said the girls were inside.
Because access to the house was restricted, she said, the girls apparently did their own cooking and chores by themselves.
“In the camp at Gwoza, there were clear demarcations between where people were kept. The Chibok girls, other captives and Boko Haram members and their family members all had their separate areas secured, though the security in the area where the girls are kept is visibly different and much tighter,” she said.

Ms. Papka explained that the conditions under which the captives in Gwoza were kept were fairly tolerable and far better than the first location, as there was water supply.
She said that after they were taken to Gwoza, their living conditions improved remarkably because the town has modern facilities, as opposed to the rustic Mdita.

“When we got to Gwoza, things changed because there were facilities there and the place was 10 times better than Mdita. We had a normal life in Gwoza, except the trauma of living in captivity. Whatever we wanted to eat, they were provided. They would bring water, firewood, etc., and leave them outside,” she explained.
A few other comforts were provided.
“They even provided perfume for anyone who requested for it,” she added.
According to her, at Mdita, she met other abducted people including women and children, among whom were many under the age of seven, all living in terrible conditions.

“There was a room we used to urinate in and because of lack of water, the place stank and maggots were everywhere. We took our baths once a daily, if we were lucky,” she said.

Because of the terrible conditions and absence of health care facilities in the camp, many people fell sick and some died.
“There was a Redeemed Christian Church of God pastor who was killed during the attack on our village, and his wife was abducted with us. She died at Mdita due to the condition of the place and the death of her husband,” Ms. Papka said.
The pastor’s wife, she explained, had diabetes and, before her abduction, had been on a special diet which could not be provided by the insurgents.

Ms. Papka said she and the other women were not raped or assaulted, although she could not speak for the Chibok girls because nobody was allowed to see or interact with them.

She also said that the Boko Haram men lived with their wives and children in the Gwoza camp, but kept away from others and cooked their own meals.
On March 15, 2015, after three months in Gwoza, Ms. Papka and 10 other older women were taken from the camp, herded into a vehicle and driven to Izge, a village, from where she was taken to her own village on a motorcycle because the road is bad.
The ride, however, was not free.

“I was asked to pay N8, 000 for the motorcycle ride, which I collected from my family,” she stated.
This website also learnt that a two-year old boy was given to Ms. Papka when she was released. The boy, who is reported to be sick and has rashes on his body, has since been reunited with his family, which is now seeking financial assistance to take the child to hospital.
“He was crying uncontrollably, so they (Boko Haram) handed him over to me as we were leaving,” she said.

In my own little opinion, they are providing these women and children with everything that they wish to have in order to brainwash them. Making basic necessities that were once not available and improving living conditions is a way of getting to them all mentally, especially if these women and children come from places where those needs are hardly met. Give them what they want, and they will obey and follow us, even if our action of kidnapping is inhumane. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but perfume isn't something that I would ask for in that situation. If you can grant me the wish of perfume, something that I don't need to survive, then can I go home? Of course not. It is all for the sake of conforming and tyranny.

I sense sthing here with the type of security and other provisions to them there simply points to foreign hands in this menace. I wouldn't want to believe those animals would have the heart to provide such security and good living like the woman said, but coming from whites who are stage managing these whoe issue without knowing they are heartless themselves. Buhari why ? Even to ur own ple ?

Stop being foolish my guy. After accusing white people, you're still accusing Buhari. If at all Buhari is responsible for all these as you just alleged, what's stopping Jonathan from arresting and prosecuting him? Stop being foolish once more!

i said i sense it, i didn't accuse them. Then if wat i sense it real, whites can't operate where they do not but through some native subjects. But known fact is Buhari is behind bokoharam. Whites giving him intelligence n support is shing yrt to b verified. U guys were all saying how it will be disastrous to the country just to disqualify GMB, how much more prosecuting him. Gej in his wisdom has national interest at heart and wouldn't want chaos bu will intelligently carry out justice withgout spilling blood. Jus as he is doing in hose oil blocks.
