The 21 freed Chibok girls said on Sunday
in Abuja that for “one month and 10 days’’ of their abduction by the
Boko Haram insurgents, they stayed without food in the bush.
Ms Gloria Dame, one of the rescued
girls, narrated this while giving testimony on behalf of her colleagues
at a thanksgiving service organised for them at a DSS health facility in
Abuja.
The Minister of Information and Culture,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, and Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Jummai
Alhassan, attended the service.
The girl, who spoke in Hausa language, said their survival in captivity was an act of God.
“I did not know that a day like this will come that we will be dancing and giving thanks to God among people.
“For one month and 10 days we stayed without food. I narrowly escaped bomb blast in the forest.
“We are praying to God to touch the
heart of Boko Haram insurgents to repent and we are calling on Nigerians
to pray and fast for the release of our remaining ones in captivity,’’
she said.
