Prime 9ja Online has learned that armed bandits have prepared a feast for the child of Birnin Yauri, a 16-year-old female student who was kidnapped from the Federal Government College in Kebbi State and gave birth to a child while in their care.
She is one of the 11 female pupils who have not yet been freed after gunmen kidnapped more than 100 students and eight teachers.
On June 17, 2021, while carrying out the operation, the bandits murdered a police officer in the mixed boarding school.
Security personnel were able to rescue some of the students a few days after their kidnapping, but others managed to flee from the assailants as they were removing them.
The bandits also released the teachers and 30 of the students.
Prime 9ja Online confirmed that the girl delivered a baby boy in the abductors’ forest camp a few weeks ago.
A local source who confirmed the news of the “naming ceremony” of the child of the abducted FGC Yauri Female student to Prime 9ja Online, disclosed that two other students in the terrorists’ den also gave birth to a baby girl and boy.
“There are about four other female students who are pregnant at the moment. One of them is due to give birth any moment from now,” he said.
Meanwhile, one of the parents of the abducted female students who spoke to Prime 9ja Online on phone called on the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (rtd), and Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, to intervene and ensure their children’s release.
The parent said: “In the name of God Almighty, we call for that special committee constituted by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, to take charge and resolve it as quickly as possible as it did with Kaduna train passengers.
“We learn about how the remaining abducted passengers were released after six months in captivity through the efforts by the Irabor Committee and the endorsement of NSA Monguno.
“It is unfortunate that our daughters have spent more than one year in captivity and married off by force and becoming young mothers at tender ages… Oh my God. Haba!”
Another parent who spoke to Prime 9ja Online pointed out that the Chief of Defence Staff Action Committee could facilitate the rescue of the female students in captivity.
The parent, who pleaded anonymity, recalled how CDSAC on October 5 had secured the release and took custody of all the 23 remaining Abuja-Kaduna passengers held hostage by Boko Haram terrorists following the attack on the Abuja-to-Kaduna train on March 28, 2022.
Immediately after the release of the passengers, the secretary of the CDSAC, Prof. Usman Yusuf, said: “The nation owes a debt of gratitude to the Nigerian military under the leadership of the CDS, who conceived and guided the operation from start to finish. All sister security agencies and the Federal Ministry of Transportation contributed immensely to this operation.
“The unwavering support of President Muhammadu Buhari is what made it all possible. Members of this committee are grateful for the rare honour and privilege to be part of this humanitarian operation. May God Almighty heal our wounds and bring peace to our land.”
