Abductors kept Chibok Girls in Houses, taught them Scripture recitations – Community Leader reveals

The National Coordinator of Gwoza Christian Community Association (GCCA), Ayuba Bassa has narrated his encounter during the early abduction of the Chibok Girls.

Bassa said he watched helplessly as the insurgents moved the girls from one location to another, teaching them scriptural recitations.

Speaking on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Bassa lamented that many are disappointed over unfulfilled promises that the girls will be rescued soon.

He said;

“I could picture when the abduction earlier happened. Most of the people within the Gwoza settlement then will tell you the houses where the girls were divided into and kept. Those Chibok girls were in Gwoza for more than four weeks and were being taught how to recite the scriptures.

“So, if you go to Gwoza the memory is still fresh. They will tell you it is this house and this house that they were being kept. I can point like two houses they were kept and the routes they passed.

“So many residents feel if the government had made enough efforts to know that the girls were kept in house number one and house number two, the girls would have been rescued,” he said

Bassa believes that the Chibok abduction was used to frustrate Goodluck Jonathan-led administration.

“Even if you go to Gwoza today, ask anybody, they will tell you, the girls were used for political rivalry,” he added.
