A woman who escaped from boko haram terrorists (Hawwa) has revealed how the Nigerian military mistakenly killed 5 chibok schoolgirls.
Speaking with newsmen, Hawwa, claimed that she had met the Chibok girls in Gwoza, the former center of Boko Haram’s self-declared caliphate.
The woman stated that she was forced to work as a cook for the Boko Haram sect, and was kept in a complex with a lot of other women and children, where conditions were poor. According to her, the Chibok girls were kept alone and treated much better than the other women, “like VIPs.”
Hawwa claimed that while Gwoza was under Boko Haram’s control, five of the Chibok girls were killed by the Nigerian military jets that flew overhead and opened fire on a crowd of women as they sat together in a camp.
“The military… didn’t know they were the Chibok girls,” she said.
“They would have seen a group of women in a compound and just fired… When it started we ran” she added.
Hawwa also said she thought the military “would have thought they were the family of the insurgents.”
