The abducted “Chibok girl” released
on Wednesday is “pregnant and mentally ill,” the National Chairman of Chibok
Community Development Association, Dr. Pogu Bitrus, has told TheCable.
Earlier on Thursday, the police
revealed that the 20-year-old girl was abandoned by suspected terrorists at
Mubi in Adamawa State, from where she was picked up. It also confirmed that she
was one of the female pupils of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno
State, abducted in April by Boko Haram.
However, Bitrus said it was still
uncertain if the girl was from Chibok because her name did not correspond with
any of the names in the records of the girls that were captured by Boko Haram
on April 14.
“I was speaking Kibaku to her, but
she did not respond; she was incoherent. She may be having mental issues as a
result of trauma,” he said.
Bitrus added that preliminary tests –
still not definitive – indicated that the girl is pregnant.
He added, “When she was picked up,
she was taken to a clinic, not a standard hospital, and tests were carried out
on her.
“From the tests, it was said she is
pregnant, but that is still in the speculative domain because a qualified
medical doctor has not confirmed that she is pregnant.
“However, we are still trying to
establish if really she is from Chibok, because from our sources, the last name
of the released girl does not tally with the surname of the person bearing the
first name of the released girl captured in our records and whose father is a
carpenter at Chibok. So, we are still trying to work out every detail.”
