The suspicions were said to have arisen after some of the captives questioned a colleague on why she had she received preferential treatment and better food from the terrorists when they were being held.
Defence spokesperson, Chris Olukolade said, on Thursday, May 21, 2015, that the former captives were relocated in order for them to get "proper medical attention and psycho-social therapy."
He however did not say where they were taken.
