Forced into marriage, impregnated and infected with diseases: Schoolgirl who was kidnapped by Boko Haram alongside 275 others 'escapes and reveals horrors faced by captives'

Terrorists stormed the Government Secondary School in the remote town of Chibok in Borno state in April last year, seizing 276 girls who were preparing for end-of-year exams. Fifty-seven escaped but nothing had been heard of the 219 others since May last year, when about 100 of them appeared in a video (pictured above), dressed in Muslim attire and reciting the Koran. The girl who escaped revealed they were forced to convert to Islam and anyone who refused was either beheaded or shot at point blank range. They were made to marry, and were impregnated and infected, she said.
