Abducted Chibok girls
Missing
Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram have been brainwashed into
killing and torturing the terror group’s other prisoners, it has been
revealed.
Other
women who were captured by the Islamist group claim they were held in
the same camp as some of the kidnapped schoolgirls, who are now carrying
out killings on behalf of their captors.
Amnesty
International said it is aware that out of the 276 girls abducted from
from their boarding school by the Islamist groups more than a year ago,
some of 219 still missing have been forced to fight for Boko Haram.
When she
refused, they slit the throats of four men in front of her – and said
she would suffer the same fate if she did not co-operate.
The teenager went on to marry a Boko Haram member, was repeatedly raped and is now pregnant with his child.
She said some
of the Chilbok schoolgirls were held in the same camp as her, and they
urged her to comply with their terrorist captors – and killed Christian
men in front of her.
“They were
Christian men. They [the Boko Haram fighters] forced the Christians to
lie down. Then the girls cut their throats,” the unidentified teen said.
“You
women should learn from your husbands because they are giving their
blood for the cause. We must also go to war for Allah.”
The
statements made by the 17-year-old were not independently verified. She
has now successfully fled the group after six months in captivity.
Human rights
activists at Amnesty International said their own research uncovered
evidence that a number of the Chibok schoolgirls were now fighting for
Boko Haram.
The Islamist terror group has abducted thousands of women and girls in recent years
Earlier this
week it was reported two teenage girls, who killed at least 30 people in
a twin suicide bomb attacks in Nigeria, were feared to have been Boko
Haram captives who were forced to blow themselves up.
