Another Kidnapped Chibok schoolgirl escapes from Boko Haram

Reports from TheCable indicate that one of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls have escaped. The online news platform quoted the National Chairman of the Kibaku Area Development Association, Pogu Bitrus as saying the girls escaped from her captors but she is “currently at a location I cannot disclose. “But I can assure you that she is safe,” he said. He said the identity of the escaped girls is being kept under wraps so as not to endanger her life. Reports say four other girls escaped last week but this was not made public in the interest of their safety. Similarly, TheCable ’s standby source in Chibok confirmed the news, saying: “It is true. I have just confirmed that one girl escaped.” Over 50 kidnapped schoolgirls were said to have escaped from the Boko Haram Islamic sect soon after they were kidnapped with many escaping while they were being taken deep into the Sambisa forest camp of the terrorists. Recent reports indicate that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is making efforts at negotiating the release of the over 230 girls but the status of this discussion is not immediately available.
