The abducted “Chibok girl” who was released on Wednesday is “pregnant and mentally ill,” according to the National Chairman of Chibok Community Development Association, Dr. Pogu Bitrus.


Police had on Thursday, revealed that the 20-year-old girl who gave her name as Susanna, was abandoned by suspected Boko Haram members at Mubi in Adamawa State, from where she was picked up. It was believed that she was one of the pupils of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, abducted April 14 by the terrorists.

Bitrus, who spoke to TheCable, said: “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.

“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”.

The community leader however added that 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 the terrorists in April.

His words: “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.”
