More than 200 girls who were abducted by
Boko Haram from government secondary
school, Chibok, Borno State, in April 2014
are in Gwoza, The Cable , an online
medium, on Wednesday quoted Mbutu
Papka, a woman who was recently freed
after eight months in the sect’s captivity,
to have said.
Papka, who made the revelation to the
international centre for investigative
reporting, said she was transferred from a
poor condition in Mdita to a fairly tolerable
facility in Gwoza where the abducted girls
were being held.
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.
“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. They even
provided perfume for anyone who
requested for it.”
The 56-year-old woman added that no
one was allowed anywhere near the
specific location of the abducted girls,
which was being guarded round the clock.
Papka was reportedly seized alongside
many others when Boko Haram attacked
Gwoza on July 4, 2014 and taken to Mdita,
a remote village near the notorious
Sambisa Forest, bordering Askira Uba and
Damboa. She and many others, including
children were kept in Mdita for five months
before they were taken to Gwoza, where
she was held for another three months
before being released on March 15.
The woman said the facilities provided for
them in Mdita were so poor that some
captives died of ill health.
“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 said.
The pastor’s wife was said to have had
diabetes and had been on a special diet,
which could not be provided by the
insurgents.
Though she said she could not speak for
the abducted girls, Papka said she and the
other women abducted were neither raped
nor assaulted, saying the insurgents lived
with their wives and children in the Gwoza
camp.
When she was to be released by the sect
on March 15, Papka was given a sick two-
year-old boy who had been crying
uncontrollably. She was driven home on a
motorcycle and asked to pay N8, 000,
which her family did.
