A Nigerian schoolgirl kidnapped Boko Haram has reportedly escaped and revealed how she and her peers were forced to marry the Islamists who impregnated them and infected them with diseases. Terrorists stormed the Government Secondary School in the remote town of Chibok in Borno state in April last year, seizing 276 girls who were preparing for end-of-year exams.
Fifty-seven escaped but nothing had been heard of the 219 others since May last year, when about 100 of them appeared in a video, dressed in Muslim attire and reciting the Koran.
But now, one of the girls is said to have escaped from the Lake Chad region in the north-east of the country and run into herdsmen, who helped her get to safety
