More than 50 of the girls abducted by terrorist group Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State, a year ago, were seen alive three weeks ago, a woman has told the BBC.
According to the woman whose name was not published by the British online news platform, the girls were seen in Gwoza before the Boko Haram militants were dislodged by the Nigerian military, backed by forces from neighbouring countries. The Islamist sect was believed to have made Gwoza its headquarters after it captured the town in August 2014.
The woman, who lived under Boko Haram’s rule in Gwoza, told the BBC that she saw the girls in Islamic attire, being escorted by the militants.
