Four abducted Chibok schoolgirls have been supposedly freed from the camp of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram located in Cameroon.
Rendering to a scandalous British-Australian negotiator Stephen Davis, who had tried to deal with Boko Haram sect for the schoolgirls’ freedom, a teenage boy, also a hostage, helped the girls to get out of the camp, British newspaper TheSundayTimes reported.
Chibok
Some of the Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State, paraded in a video released by the sect.
The liberated girls, who are between 16 and 18 years of age, give hope for more than 200 other girls who remain missing.
The report by the British newspaper, backed by their American colleagues from New York Post, stated four of the Chibok girls were hiked three weeks through jungle following the setting sun and finally came to a Nigerian village, looking shabby and distressed
Upon hearing the news, the controversial negotiator said in a brief comment to the newsmen that the girls were amazing, as they managed to escape and to find way back to thier home country. “They are the only ones that have escaped from a Boko Haram camp,” he added.
According to Stephen Davis the girls had been told that if they run away from Boko Haram, their families would be destroyed.
More than 200 girls were abducted from their boarding-school dormitory in northeastern Nigeria by Boko Haram terrorists six months ago, on April 14, 2014.
The case generated world outrage and a big campaign calling for their release, partly propelled by the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.
The leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, a couple of weeks after the abduction released the video in which he said that he would never free girls. He claimed that they had become slaves of Boko Haram and that they would stay slaves forever.
