More than 200 women and children rescued last week by the Nigerian military from Boko Haram's stronghold in the Sambisa Forest in Borno State, Nigeria are pregnant, the Christian Post website reports today (May 8, 2015).
On April 28, 234 women and girls were rescued from the militant Islamic group in northeastern Nigeria -- where they were being used as sex slaves -- and sent to a refugee camp in Yola where they are now being treated and receiving aid.
According to the United Nations Population Fund, at least 214 of the women are visibly pregnant. The screening is still going on.
Asabe Aliyu, a 23-year-old mother of four who was abducted from Delsak village six months ago by Boko Haram militants, said, "They turned me into a sex machine. They took turns sleeping with me. Now, I am pregnant and I cannot identify the father."
