t has been confirmed that the Federal Government has moved the Chibok
girl, Susan Ishaya, abandoned by Boko Haram, to Abuja for further
treatment.
She was moved from the Police Hospital in Yola on Saturday to an undisclosed location in Abuja where she is receiving treatment.
Susan’s identity is yet to be confirmed or her parents identified,
since the parents, who travelled to Yola to meet her with the Vice
Principal of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok were unable
to see her because she was flown out without their knowledge.
The Director of Publicity, Kibaku Area Development Association
(KADA), Dr. Manasseh Allen, spoke yesterday in Abuja at the gathering of
the #BringBackOurGirls advocacy members.
He said it would be important to Susan’s recovery if she was reunited with her parents.
His words: “She was moved by security agencies to Abuja from Yola
yesterday. Her location has not been disclosed to us, they are working
on her medical condition first before they can acquire any information
from her.
“They have found out that she is still incoherent, she keeps
repeating herself and at times she keeps repeating statements, which
means we cannot depend on her words for now, but our leaders are in
touch with the authorities and government. As I speak to you now, there
are people on standby waiting on the military authorities so that they
can have access to Susan and ensure proper medical attention is given to
her before we can go on with whatever can come after.
“No parent has made any contact with her. As I’m speaking to you, no
one can say she is from Chibok because no one is yet to meet her.
“My concern is that in every rehabilitation, family is essential,
even in the healing process. So it is essential that Susan is reunited
with her family as soon as possible so that the process of her
psychological healing will be complete.”
