On Wednesday, 105 of them were
released with one still in their custody.
“Five of our colleagues died of
heart attack, trauma and stress as a result of the long trip,” Khadija Grema,
one of the freed girls, told Channels TV.
“They didn’t allow us close to
them. One of us was held back on the religious ground. She is a Christian and
refused to denounce her religion.”
Grema said they were “well
treated” while in the custody of the insurgents.
She said after being taken away
from their school, they travelled through the bush and “as we continued (the
journey), they (Boko Haram members) asked for those who are fasting among us.
They then serve us drinks, meat and food after which we say our prayers and
continue the journey.
“We crossed several rivers and streams
and into one house where we leave on till our departure day.
“But to be honest we were well
treated. They didn’t torture us as they treated us well throughout our stay in
captivity, neither did they subject us to any molestation (or) any kind of sexual
harassment.
“We didn’t know why they brought
us back but they told us we are Muslims and we share the same faith and they
don’t want us to suffer.”
The federal government has said
the girls were released “unconditionally”.
