They told me the Chibok girls have a new life where they learn to fight. They said we should be like them and accept Islam,” 15-year-old escapee, Abigail John told The Associated Press.
Abigail was one of three girls who were interviewed and she said that the Boko Haram members were obsessed with the Chibok girls and often narrated how they had whipped and slapped the abducted girls until they submitted.
The over 200 girls were kidnapped on April 14, 2014 and have now spent more than 300 days in captivity.
