A group, Christian Solidarity Worldwide Nigeria (CSWN), says the Federal Government must prosecute terrorists that impregnated Ruth Ngladar Pogu and Hassana Adamu, two Chibok girls that recently surfaced after seven years in captivity.
The group made the demand in a statement signed by its research and press officer, Reuben Buhari.
Recall that Pogu and Adamu were among hundreds of girls abducted from the Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS), Chibok, Borno State on April 14, 2021.

The two girls recently returned home with their captors who claimed to be their “husbands”.
In its statement, CSWN described the so-called husbands as “violators of the girls” who “forcefully” married them.
The group said they must not escape justice.
“After seven years in forceful, dehumanising and unlawful captivity, two abducted students of the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno state have been found.
“First, it was Ruth Ngladar Pogu and the man erroneously referred to as her ‘husband’ who presented themselves to the security on July 28, 2021, in Bama.
“On Saturday, July 14, 2021, Hassana Adamu was also found with two children in Gwoza. Both girls were found with children from their abductors.
“The CSWN expresses its joy on this promising good news that holds the prospect of more girls getting their freedom.
“However, our concern stems from the fundamental human rights of these girls that were willfully violated.
“The Nigerian government may continue with its re-radicalisation programme that birthed the worrying terminology of ‘repentant terrorists, but we in CSWN, in view of the fact that Nigeria is governed by laws, call for the full application of all relevant laws on those who violated the girls.
“This would show the supremacy of law over lawlessness and impunity, and a consolation to the victims of insurgency trying to rebuild their lives or still wallowing in IDP camps,” the statement read.
