One of the Dapchi schoolgirls freed by Boko Haram on Wednesday, Khadija Grema, provided a detailed account of their journey after Boko Haram insurgents abducted them on February 19.

About 110 girls were kidnapped from their secondary school in Dapchi, Yobe State. A total of 105 of them were freed on Wednesday morning by the insurgents who dropped them off in Dapchi without any resistant or confrontation by soldiers.

Clad in hijab (overall gown) that was uniformly sewn for all the girls by the Boko Haram, she said their journey to captivity was a harrowing experience that caused the death of some of her school mates.

“We were at the school, about to break our usual Monday voluntary fast, when the gunmen arrived. Everyone was confused and people were screaming; one of them said we should come close to him. They were shooting and everyone was confused. So we ran towards the school gate,” she said in Dapchi on Wednesday.

“When we got there, they called on one Babangida to bring vehicles. They brought the vehicles and began to drive us away. Outside Dapchi, they asked that who amongst us were fasting. And some of us that were fasting were asked to come down from the vehicle. They gave us Maltina, meat, groundnut cake and pure water.

“We had our prayers after breaking the fast. Then we continued our journey until we got to a place with a big tree, they stopped and we were asked to cook food, it was dark, so they put on lamps.

“After eating, then we continued the journey for a long time until we got to a place where there is river, we came down from the trucks and they asked us to enter some canoes that took us across the river.

“Across the river, they took us to a house in one village that I don’t know; we stayed there for sometime. The next day, they came to ask us to come out and we were taken to the river and continued the journey until we got to where a thick forest area. That was where they kept us; and they have not changed our location since then.

“They have been feeding us very well, they treated us very well. They did not beat us; they did not molest us.

“The people that took us away were all speaking Kanuri and Arabic. They didn’t tell us any meaningful reason why we were freed and returned. They just said we are Muslims and they felt it was right for them to free us so that we will not suffer.”

She said some of the girls, apparently the very young ones, who were trampled upon while they were packed in the vehicles that took them out of Dapchi, died on the way.

“Five girls died while we were on the way to the bush; most of them died because they were trampled upon inside the vehicles,” Khadija said.

She added that their abductors did not molest them sexually.

“They did not molest or sexually harass us,” she said. “They even said it was wrong for women and men to sit in the same place.

One Girl Was Not Freed

Khadija added that all of them were promised that they would one day be allowed to go home except one of the girls, Leah Sherubu, who was a Christian and who refused to put on the Hijab or accept Islam.

“They freed all of us except one girl, Leah whom they said would not go because she was a Christian.”

A parent of one of the freed girls also spoke about the girl not released.

​”It was sad when we heard that Leah was not released,” Kachalla Bukar said.

“We were told by the Boko Haram that she was not released because she refused to put on Hijab.”

The terrorists spent about an hour in Dapchi discussing with residents before they left the town.

The freed girls have now been flown to Abuja where they are expected to meet with presidency officials.

Chai!!!
I weep for my nation

Another story
Again

They will definitely treat them well because it was well sponsored and stage to score political point.

Meat and malt, groundnut Cake and pure water. How does that sound?

Why were chibok girls not treated like that?

Thought is the same boko haram with the same agenda.

Obviously, there is a great difference between chibok and dapchi girls and our leaders know better

O my!

Leah Sherubu is a martyr in the making.

Tears are coming to my eyes.

LORD Jesus, please save your daughter, Leah, who has chosen to identify with you against all odds.

CAN over to you.

May God's hand be heavy upon those keeping Leah Sherubu in captivity in Jesus name.
We declare her liberation. We declare her deliverance in the name of Jesus!

Eleribu ni awon government wa yii. Do you notice the political undertone from this girls narration

So what do you have to say now about buhari and his APC government?

This is a national disgrace. All those that voted in this government will be punished severely by God

If it is one muslim girl who is not allowed entrance because she is wearing hijab, all MUSTI, MURIC, ISLAMIC this and that would have risen up to talk, but now Leah Sherubu is being held by Boko-Haram simply because she is a christian and nothing from CAN or any other body called christian
#freeLeahSherubu

I repeat playing politics with innocent school girls is morally wrong. Making these girls go through this ugly drama for political gains is a tickling time bomb that when it explodes, the north might never remain the same again.

Boko haram has now become so kind to release hostages without any form of ransoms paid but a moral burden on the part of the terrorists, do terrorists have conscience ni? Stop taking us as fools.

The aim of this govt is for the people to praise them in handling abduction hence we have Dapchi vs chibok and while watching the news yesterday, several of the villagers were praising the presidency well I won't blame them, they just wanted to see their daughters again.

When will Leah be released? She is a christian and she won't compromise, the grace of God to stand till the end is upon her Jesus name, amen.

All those involved in this ugly drama will never know peace because the judgement of God is upon them I'm Jesus name, amen.

Nollywodd movie!!

Someone said the Dapchi girls were dropped off with there bags. Were they allowed to carry their bags during the abduction or they acquired properties in captivity?

Buhari u order ur boko haram to detain Leah because of her strong faith, then u will recieve a rode shack of ur life God is watching

Episode 2.

The stayed one hour before leaving.

Useless government headed by an idiot.

Crazy shithole of a country. I hate this government with passion.

Why would they molest you?
You were pawns in a bigger game, and they wouldn't want the game to go sideways.
