insurgents, Susan Ishaya, is four months pregnant, chairman of Chibok
community in Abuja, Tsamdo Hosea Abana, has confirmed.
Abana, who made the disclosure through phone chat with Leadership,
lamented the trauma parents and the abducted girls are going through,
saying their lives will never be the same again.
Security sources said Miss Ishaya was found near a police station in
the border town of Mubi on Wednesday after she was left there by the
insurgents. Abana confirmed that the girl in question was among the
schoolgirls abducted by the insurgent group about five months ago in
Chibok, Borno State, adding that she has been moved to Adamawa State
Police Headquarters in Yola.
"Susan is actually one of our daughters abducted from Government Girls
Secondary School in Chibok. She was found in Mubi where her abductors
dumped her and she was later taken to Yola. It has been proved that
the girl is four months pregnant, and she is psychological and
physically traumatized," he stated.
Abana, who pleaded with the police authorities to ensure that she is
given adequate medical attention considering her plight, also called
on federal government to step up efforts toward freeing the remaining
girls and re-uniting them with their families. He revealed that the
girl is suffering from trauma and there are signs of physical abuses
on her body, saying he believed the insurgents subjected their
captives to horrible physical and sexual abuses.
"Evidently, the girl was subjected to serious abuse. There are bruises
on her body, and she is suffering from psychological trauma", Abana
stated.
Sources at the Police Clinic in Yola confirmed that Miss Ishaya was on
admission at the clinic where she was receiving treatment but that she
was taken to the police headquarters in the morning. However, a source
said the girl might have been referred to a better hospital.
The police public relations oficer (PPRO), Michael Haa, declined to
speak on the matter, saying the military had taken charge of security
in the state since the declaration of state of emergency by President
Jonathan in 2013. Attempts to speak to the Army public relations
officer, Captain Jafaru Nuhu, were not successful as his phone was
switched off.
