It was a Tuesday, around 5:00 am. We were fast asleep in our house when we heard the warning cries, “Boko Haram is coming!”
WE LEFT ALL OUR BELONGINGS BEHIND
Kind-hearted individuals gave some of us clothes, but that help is only available to those who were lucky enough to reach town.
WE’VE FORGIVEN THE REPENTANT BOKO HARAM
Initially, we were afraid of the repentant Boko Haram members, but now we’re one community.
I JOINED BOKO HARAM. I DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE.
We were given ₦20,000 and a bag of rice, with promises of ongoing support that unfortunately didn’t materialise.
LIFE AFTER RESCUE FROM SAMBISA IS HARDER
The daily struggle to survive and take care of my children now feels much harder. I feel like I’ve been abandoned and forgotten.
WE WATCHED AS THEY EXECUTED PEOPLE
I saw many girls being forced into marriages, and some were even sold as slaves.
