Hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped
two weeks ago again are being sold to as wives to Islamic militants for as
little as £8 each, it has been claimed.
The teenagers were abducted from their
secondary school, in Chibok, in the middle of the night by armed men
from Boko Haram and are believed to have smuggled across the borders to
Cameroon and Chad Republic.
Some of them have been forced to marry against their will and are being used as servants and sex slaves, according to a community elder.
Pogo Bitrus told The Times the captors
were selling the girls aged 16-18 into servitude by forcing them to
marry other members of the extremist group.
‘If these captors are trying to achieve a
political point, I think the best thing is for us to try to make sure
that they don’t succeed,’ he said.
‘But from all indications they are
succeeding, due to inaction of government it is helping these people in
achieving their objectives.’
He said that the girls had been ferried to
Cameroon and Chad by canoe where prospective husbands were paying
around 2,000 naira (£8) for a bride.
The girls were kidnapped on April 14 by gunmen who raided the dormitories taking the girls while they slept.
Initially officials said that about 85 girls had been taken. But it later emerged that as many as 234 were missing.
So far, none of the schoolgirls have been
rescued. About 40 managed to escape the grips of their heavily armed
captors – believed to be members of a Jihad Islamist group.

“Many were taken to the northern part of
Borno state and then moved across into the Republic of Cameroon,” he
said. “After they converted to Islam, they were forcibly married off
with a bride price of just 2,000 Naira [less than £10].” Dr Bitrus
believes some of the girls do still remain in Boko Haram camps in the
Sambisa forest.
“The federal government must act fast” to avoid them suffering the same fate, he added.
