A 56-year-old woman who was recently released by Boko
Haram said that the Chibok girls abducted in April
2014 are being held in Gwoza town in Borno State. According to the International Center for Investigative
Reporting, icirnigeria.org, Mbutu Papka was
kidnapped in July, 2014 and held by the insurgents in
the same location as the abducted Chibok girls.
Reportedly, the abducted girls were being kept under
very tight security in a house in Gwoza. Papka said that nobody was allowed near the fenced
building where the abducted girls are being held under
24-hour security. “Even the heavily armed guards who
keep watch over the girls round the clock are only
allowed to go into the house to deliver food, water and
other supplies to them,” she said. After Boko Haram attacked Gwoza on July 4, 2014,
Mbutu Papka along with others was taken to Mdita, a
remote village near the notorious Sambisa Forest, bordering
Askira Uba, Damboa and Gwoza. The abductees
reportedly were kept in Mdita for five months before
being transferred to Gwoza, where they were held for three more months till Nigerian army released them on
March 15. Though Papka has never seen the Chibok girls, she
explained that people in the area pointed at the heavily
guarded flat and said the girls were inside. “Because access to the house was restricted the girls
apparently did their own cooking and chores by
themselves,” she said “In the camp at Gwoza, there were clear demarcations
between where people were kept. The Chibok girls, other
captives and Boko Haram members and their family
members all had their separate areas secured, though the
security in the area where the girls are kept is visibly
different and much tighter,” she added. According to Papka, the conditions under which the
captives in Gwoza were kept were fairly tolerable and
far better than the first location, as there was water
supply. “When we got to Gwoza, things changed because there were
facilities there and the place was 10 times better than
Mdita. We had a normal life in Gwoza, except the
trauma of living in captivity. Whatever we wanted to eat,
they were provided. They would bring water, firewood,
etc., and leave them outside,” she explained. Mbutu Papka Speaking about living conditions at Mdita, she
recalled that the place stank and maggots were everywhere
because of lack of water. She also said that she met other
abducted people including women and children, among
whom were many under the age of seven. Because of the terrible conditions and absence of health
care facilities in the camp, many people fell sick and
some died. “There was a Redeemed Christian Church of God
pastor who was killed during the attack on our village,
and his wife was abducted with us. She died at Mdita
due to the condition of the place and the death of her
husband,” she told. According to Papka, she and the other women were not
raped or assaulted, though she could not speak for the
Chibok girls because nobody was allowed to see or interact
with them. She also said that the Boko Haram men lived with their
wives and children in the Gwoza camp, but kept away
from others and cooked their own meals. On March 15, 2015, after three months in Gwoza, Papka
and 10 other older women were taken from the camp, herded
into a vehicle and driven to Izge, a village, from where
she was taken to her own village on a motorcycle because the
road is bad. Details on the ICiR. Gwoza town was first captured by the insurgents in
August last year, following a heavy gun attack by
insurgents who hoisted the sect’s flag and declared it the
headquarters of the group’s Caliphate. Over 12,000 persons were displaced from the town and
repeated attempts by the military to recapture it in the past
have failed largely due to the hilly terrain, which
provide hiding places for the terrorists from which to
operate. This is not the first time that released Boko Haram
abductees have claimed to know where the Chibok girls are
being held. Emman Shehu, a founding member of the Bring Back
Our Girls group, told our reporter during the week that a
young girl who was released last week and an elderly
woman had previously claimed that the Chibok girls
were being kept in Damboa and Sambisa area.
