Boko Haram kidnap victim speaks on horrific experience full of rape and abuse

Asabe Aliyu is one of many who ended up pregnant by her rapists.

"They turned me into a sex machine. They took turns to sleep with me. Now, I am pregnant and I cannot identify the father," told Asabe Aliyu, one of the rescued women from the extremist camp, in an interview with the Daily Times newspaper. Asabe, 23, is just one of the 214 out of the 534 women who turned out to be pregnant, mostly by the militant fighters. The women were held capture by Boko Haram in their stronghold located in the Sambisa Forest, northeastern Nigeria, whom were reportedly mistreated, starved and raped.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - "With my condition as a pregnant woman, I did the cooking of their food," Asabe added.

Starved and traumatized, the women arrived to makeshift government rescue and army camps and are now under the care and support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), according to the Daily Mail.

"Boko Haram were cruel to them. They were denied food and denied sleep. They were used almost as slaves. They were forced to cook for the Boko Haram fighters and look after them. Sometimes they were used as sex slaves," said the UNFPA executive director Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin in a statement with the outlet.

The thought of carrying the rapists' child reminds the victims of the extreme terror during the several weeks they were captured. With the culture in Nigeria, Dr. Osotimehin finds it hard not to believe the stories of rape cried out by the women.

"I am a Nigerian as well and I will tell you this much - for a woman to claim that she has been raped, in my country, is one of the most difficult things," he said, adding that the rescued women need psychiatric and social support to help them to recovery.
