Narrating her how the insurgents captured she said the insurgents raided her community on April 9, 2014 and captured her, her husband and their six children.
She continued her story; “They took me at night around 2.00am on April 9, 2014. Myself, my husband and children were inside the compound.

“They took my husband away and I don’t know where he is, they brought me and my children into the Sambisa forest, we spent two months inside Sambisa forest, then they took us to another village where we spent the wet season.
“We were taken to another village in Gwoza where we spent one month, but we did not see the Chibok girls, it was a week after they took us to the Sambisa forest they took the Chibok girls, we did not see each other.
“They carried away two of my children (boys) till now I have not seen them together with my neighbour’s children.”
