Mary Nkeki, a 27-year-old Chibok girl, was recently saved by the Operation Hadin Kai Theatre Command troops.
She had been held captive by Boko Haram and was forcefully married to a former insurgent named Adam.
The rescue took place last week, executed by the 81 Task Force Battalion during an operation in the terrorists’ stronghold in Dikwa.
Major General Gold Chibuisi, the Theater Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, announced that Nkeki was the 55th girl on the list of abducted Chibok girls.
After her rescue, she underwent thorough medical assessment and has since been rehabilitated. She is now ready to be handed over to the authorities in Borno state.
During an interview with journalists after her transfer to the Borno State Ministry for Women Affairs officials, Nkeki revealed that she had given birth to two daughters while in captivity with Adam.
Tragically, Adam passed away later on. When asked about the possibility of marriage, she stated that she was already married to Adam and they had escaped captivity together.
Mary recounted that she and Adam had repented from their involvement with the insurgency and managed to flee the terrorists’ enclave in the Dikwa area.
They were eventually rescued by the troops, although Adam was taken to a camp for repentant insurgents following their rescue.
Notably, Mary’s rescue marks the 16th successful recovery of abducted girls by the troops in recent months.
