According to the report, the women were abducted a day after the
Nigerian government announced that it has commenced a ceasefire
negotiation with the terrorists group.
The former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, was quoted to have confirmed the release the two women.
She allegedly said: “This was a case of an abduction that
happened about a week ago. Some members of the Chibok community that are
part of the #BringBackOurGirls group, who had two of their nieces
abducted and now they have got news that they have been released.
“They are not part of the original 219 Chibok girls. They went to the farm and got abducted.”
A niece of one of the kidnapped women, Comfort, also commented on their release, saying: “On 16 of this month, Mary a 36-year-old mother of seven was abducted on the farm with her mate.
“We got the news that on Thursday evening she was abducted.”
This is coming after a new report by Human Rights Watch revealed that no fewer 500 women and girls have been abducted by the dreaded Boko Haram sect since 2009 and most of them have been forcefully married, while others have been forced to join them in their fight against Nigeria’s security agents.
A 20-year-old woman, abducted in September 2013, told Human Rights Watch that the insurgent she was to “married” wore a mask all the time, even when he raped her.
Though she has long escaped, she is still afraid of going anywhere.
