The 21 released Chibok girls recently released by Boko Haram terrorists have said they were not raped or abused during their stay in captivity, according to a source.
Their statement was contained in a confidential report based on their two-week debriefing prepared for President Muhammadu Buhari and seen by the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
“The girls said the Boko Haram men always assured them that they would eventually go back home to their families, and were careful about what they said around the girls and how they treated them,” said the source.
“They had been fed well and regularly, until the military cut off Boko Haram supplies.”
The report also said the daily routine of the captured girls included personal time in the morning followed by Quranic teaching and cooking meals.
According to the girls, they were not forced into marriage by the terrorists.
“The girls said that those of them who did not agree to marry were used as house girls (servants),” the source said.
The report also stated that the released girls said 61 of the 142 girls had married Boko Haram militants, 8 died during air strikes, 3 during childbirth and one of an unknown cause.
