According to BBC, more than 50 of the girls abducted
by the Islamist sect, Boko Haram last year in Borno State, were seen alive three weeks
ago by a woman who claim they are well taken care of.
The woman said she saw the girls in the north-eastern Gwoza town before the Boko Haram militants were driven out of there by regional forces."About a week after they were brought to the camp, one of us peeked through a window and asked: 'Are you really the Chibok girls?' and they said: 'Yes'. We believed them and didn't ask them again," They took Koranic lessons, cleaned their compound, cooked for themselves and they braided each others' hair. They were treated differently - their food was better and water clean. "the woman said.
Three other women also told the BBC they had seen the girls in Gwoza.
Boko Haram was believed to have turned Gwoza into its headquarters after it captured the town in August 2014.
Nigeria's military, backed by troops from neighboring countries, recaptured the town last month. The militants were suspected to have escaped to the nearby Mandara Mountains, near the border with Cameroon.
It is however unclear whether the girls are with them there. Tomorrow will make it a year since they were taken away by the terrorist group.
The whereabout of the remaining girls is still not known.
