A Chibok schoolgirl was found abandoned after health issues obviously forced the Boko Haram sect to drop her off at Kalaha, a remote village in Borno State.
The girl, who was discovered and identified by students in the village, gave her name as Susan Ishaya. She explained that she had been abandoned two days earlier, having been driven to the area in a Volkswagen Golf car.
Revealing this to the members of the #BringBackOurGirls Group yesterday, the chairman of Chibok community in Abuja, Tshalaba Hosea-Abana explained that a man identified as Rev Enoch had called to brief him on the situation of the abandoned girl.
Hosea-Abana explained that from the pictures of the abducted girls released earlier, the girl was identified. However, the name Susan Ishaya was not on the list.
“One of the Chibok schoolgirls was abandoned in the bush. One Rev Enoch called me that she was seen at Kalaha. People were running away, because they thought she had come to bomb them. She was disoriented. She was taken to a police station in Maraba Mubi. And when she was interviewed, she said that her name is Susan Ishaya. Rev Enoch said she had been taken to the hospital and is receiving treatment. We were told that she was carried in a Golf car and thrown in the bush where she stayed for two days until she found herself at Kahala,” he said.
He explained that names on the list of the abducted girls similar to hers are Hauwa Ishaya and Susan Yakubu and noted that the traumatic conditions the girl had been exposed to might be responsible for the name mix-up, as the abandoned girl was reported to be critically ill and is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
He called on the relevant authorities to interview her and get information from her that could assist further investigations.
