CONFIRMED: The Abducted Female Students Have Been Seen

Following the involvement of American marines in the efforts to rescue and #BringBackOurGirls, indications have emerged strongly that the dreaded Boko Haram sect have moved many of the over 200 schoolgirls out of Nigeria and, worst still, out of the West Africa region. The girls were seen in Central African Republic.

Here are the shocking details: “The Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram have passed through the northern CAR, escorted by armed men. Based on several testimonies of inhabitants, the women arrived Wednesday, April 30 aboard trucks. 

“They were guarded by heavily armed men, who spoke English, and also members of the former (CAR) rebel Seleka. 

“According to our source, the convoy of two trucks and a pickup was previously seen at Tiroungoulou (about 170 kilometres southwest of Birao) and perhaps Chad.

“Upon arrival, some were frightened, cried and were violently rebuked in English. The girls and their guardians were then housed for several days in a house...

“The group reportedly left the scene on the night of Sunday to Monday, May 4 to 5, without a trace,” a report by a French news medium, Jeune Afrique, disclosed.

There were reports on Friday that some of the abducted schoolgirls were seen in Birao, Central African Republic (CAR) with armed men. Birao is a small town in the north.

The French online news medium said villagers saw about 50 young women led by armed men. The report was translated into English by a Punch correspondent.

Seleka is an alliance of Islamic rebel militia factions that overthrew the Central African Republic government early last year and installed their leader as president. The group which has reportedly carried out several executions, rapé and looting split last year with Christian and Muslim factions terrorising the CAR, forcing France to send more troops to the region.

The French news medium added that natives of Birao were afraid to approach the kidnapped girls.

The Islamic sect had abducted pupils of the school on April 14 and taken them into the Sambisa forests along the Nigeria-Cameroon border. Leader of Boko Haram (Western Education is a Sin), Abubakar Shekau boasted in a video that he will sell off the girls because they are not suppose to be in school.

While about 50 of the pupils managed escaped at different times, over 200 are still with the deadly group.
