Boko Haram started chasing us and we left the town. Our men
fled to the hill top and we fled to the hospital but Boko Haram came, they did
not shoot. They just came silently. They filled the hospital. I was pregnant
when they abducted me. After a week I gave birth. Four days after I gave birth,
we were moved. We refused to convert and young men took us to another place.
They told me if I renounce my religion, they would take me to the Muslim
household to be married off but I told them I would not change my religion.
They were going to kill us but the elders intervened. The woman I was with
decided to go over the wall. The first one went and then we handed our children
over the wall and that was how we escaped" she said.
In an interview with BBC, an Nigerian woman (whose name was
not given) who was kidnapped by Boko Haram militants while she was heavily
pregnant narrated how she gave birth while in their captivity. The lady, who
later escaped, was interviewed at one of the Internally Displaced camps in
Adamawa where she is currently staying with her baby daughter.
