“I did not escape all the while because I did not want to escape earlier until now.
“We the Chibok girls are not kept in the same camp, and I don’t know why they are still in captivity but those of us have chosen to remain Sambisa, while others have not had the chance to escape.
“As for education, I cannot say anything for now but am not sure I can continue with education).”
The rescue of Abdul brings to 19 the total number of rescued Chibok girls.
