“Since her rescue, she has undergone thorough medical examination in our medical facility. Equally, she has been adequately resuscitated and will be handed over to Borno State,” Gen. Chibuisi is quoted to have said.
After being handed over to the Borno State Ministry for Women Affairs Nkeki told officials that she wouldn’t need another man to marry aside from one of her kidnappers.
‘’I already have a husband. I am married to Adam. We fled from captivity together.’’
Nkeki was one of the 276 Chibok girls that were abducted in 2014 during the term of former President Goodluck Jonathan from their secondary school in Chibok, Borno State. With hundreds of them still missing, more than half of the girls were eventually saved.
She told officials that she and her husband, Adam had repented from terrorism and had escaped from the Boko Haram’s camp at the Dikwa axis and got to a point where the Nigerian soldiers discovered and rescued them.
It is reported that Adam, Nkeki’s husband was taken to the repentant insurgents’ camp after their rescue.
