Abducted Federal Govt College student gives birth in terrorists’ camp

A 16-year-old abducted female student of Federal Government College (FGC), Birnin Yauri in Kebbi State, has reportedly given birth to a child in captivity.

It would be recalled that gunmen, on June 17, 2021, stormed the Federal Government College and abducted over 100 students and eight teachers.

A few days after the abduction, security operatives rescued some of the students, while others escaped from the gunmen in the process of taking them away.

The bandits also released the teachers and 30 of the students.

However, one of the students, whose name could not be confirmed as of press time, reportedly delivered a baby boy in the abductors’ forest camp.

A source told PRNigeria that the parents of the 11 remaining schoolgirls in captivity expressed great concern despite payments of ransom and prisoner swaps with abductors at different times.

“When the government, especially Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi, ruled out negotiation with the armed group, which demanded ransom, families of the abducted students contributed and paid the ransom for the release of their daughters

“It is disheartening that the bandits collected huge ransoms and married off some of the victims and yet refused to release the remaining abductees,” the source added.
