"When pain and sickness made me cry,
Who gazed upon my heavy eye,
And wept for fear that I should die?
My Mother."
One of the 21 Chibok girls released by Boko Haram last
week, Gloria Dame, has revealed that the abductees were, at a time, without
food for a total of one month and 10 days.
Dame made this revelation on Sunday while giving a testimony on
behalf of her colleagues at a thanksgiving service organised for them at
the health facility of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.
“I did not know that a day like this will come that we will be
dancing and giving thanks to God among people,” she said in Hausa.
“For one month and 10 days, we stayed without food. I narrowly
escaped bomb blast in the forest.
“We are praying to God to touch the heart of Boko Haram to
repent and we are calling on Nigerians to pray and fast for the release of our
remaining ones in captivity.”
