One of the schoolgirls, Hafsatu Anka released by bandits on Monday has made a startling revelation.
The student is one of those abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, GGSS, Jangebe.
According to Anka, they were laid in trenches littered with human faeces.
The SS II student who spoke in tears said they saw women and children and father of one of their school mates who had been in the den for three months.
She said they were never allowed to pray and were fed sandy rice.
“We saw other people, including women and children and father of one of our school mates who had been in the den for three months.
“They walked us on foot where some of us got dislocated on their foot, they would pray as Muslims but never allowed us to pray and they fed us with rice in which they put sand after cooking,” Hafsat narrated.
Meanwhile, Gov. Bello Matawalle of Zamfara had said repentant bandits assisted security agencies in the operation and the girls were released without ransom.
