Three schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram who struck at the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, in 2014 escaped from Gazuwa and Uqba camps in Sambisa forest while guards slept at midnight.
The three escapees, who are now women with children, were among the 250 school girls abducted on April 14, 2014, in Borno State when they were writing their final exams.
The escapees went in different directions for three to four days in the Sambisa forest in order not to fall into the hands of other Boko Haram terrorists.
Presenting the three escapees to journalists at Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri on Friday, the Theatre Commander of Joint Task Force Operation Hadin Kai, Major General Christopher Musa said, “On June 27, 2022, one of the Chibok girls, Rude Bitrus, with her child, escaped from Uqba camp in Sambisa intercepted by our troops at Bama.
