In a heartbreaking video shot by The Vice on Youtube, 16 year old Zainab
Isah spoke of how she and other girls in her community in Yola, Adamawa
state were abducted and married off by Boko Haram members. While being
held captive, one of her abductors got her pregnant. She soon became
traumatized that she had to escape from the sect members and returned to
her community where she is currently being ridiculed for keeping the
baby of a Boko Haram member.
The 16 year old teen says she cannot kill her unborn
child because doing that then makes her a killer and in no way different
from her abductors. Zainab who hoped for a girl child because some
community members had vowed to kill her child if it were a boy, is
deeply sad as a recent scan confirmed she is having a boy.
