A woman
was kidnapped by Boko Haram militants who killed her family, and forced her at
gunpoint to become a jihadi bride she told CBS news.
Aisha
Musa who has been living in the crowded Minawao refugee camp for seven months survives
by selling corn meal at the local market.
"They
show you a gun, and then whatever they say you have to follow their
command," Musa said.
She said
her captor would lock her in during the day. At night, he would rape her.
"He
would go on operations and kill people, and then come home and force me to be
with him."
Musa was
rescued by the Cameroon military, but the worst of her ordeal was finding out
she was pregnant by her rapist
"I
am not enjoying that I have a baby from a Boko Haram man," she said but she
has resigned and there are moments of tenderness between her and her young
child
Musa
never saw the Chibok girls but often heard the fighters speak of them. Like
many of the other girls, they too were forced to marry the militants.
Many are
now stigmatized by their community. Girls like Musa are regarded as spoiled
goods -- her baby a very public reminder of a cruel and unfair shame.
Poor woman
