Escaped Chibok girl: I miss my Boko Haram husband

Escaped Chibok girl Amina Ali Nkeki says she misses her Boko Haram fighter husband and is still thinking about him three months after escaping the militants' camp.

Amina Ali, who was held hostage by the terrorist group for more than two years, says she was married off a year into her ordeal and later had a baby girl.

The couple and their daughter were found on the outskirts of the Sambisa Forest in northeastern Nigeria in May. She says they escaped by themselves and were not rescued by the Nigerian military, contrary to reports.

Her husband is being investigated by Nigeria's joint intelligence center. Amina Ali says she has no idea where he is now and is keen to be reunited with him.

"I'm not comfortable with the way I'm being kept from him," the painfully shy 21-year-old told CNN in Abuja Tuesday.

Her statements came two days after the terrorist group released a grisly video showing the dead bodies of young women, taken in the aftermath of what Boko Haram says was a Nigerian airstrike. The video also shows a Chibok girl reciting a scripted plea for the release of Boko Haram fighters in exchange for the kidnapped girls.

Courage to flee

Amina Ali was one of more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram fighters from a secondary school in Chibok, Nigeria, in April 2014.

For a year, the abducted girls were kept together, she says. Then some of the teenagers -- including Amina Ali -- were "given" to the terrorists as wives.

She told CNN she was desperate to see her mother again and that the thought gave her the courage and strength to flee the camp.

Asked how she felt about becoming a mother herself while in captivity, her face clouds over and, speaking through an interpreter, she insists: "I don't want to answer."

The whereabouts of the rest of the girls remain a mystery: More than two years on, Amina Ali is the only hostage who has escaped.

But she has a message for her "sisters" still being held: Be patient and don't lose hope. She managed to get away, she says, and one day they will too.
