How Boko Haram Raped, Tortured and Forcefully Islamized Abducted Girls


By Tobi Soniyi in Abuja

The Human Rights Watch (HRW) has released a new report detailing how Boko Haram tortured, raped and forcefully converted abducted girls to Muslims and also married them off to members of the gang.
The report titled, "Those Terrible Weeks in their Camp- Boko Haram Violence against Women and Girls in Northeast Nigeria", gave a graphic ‎account of how the abducted girls were used to lure members of the Civilians Joint Task Force to ambush and captivity.

HRW revealed  that‎ although the April 14, 2014 abduction of 276 girls from a secondary school in Chibok brought the spotlight on the scourge of kidnapping in northeastern Nigeria, many more girls, women and men mostly Christians were also kidnapped.
