A victim of the Boko Haram abduction of over 200 Chibok school girls, Ruth Ngladar Pogu, has returned home seven years after.
She was received at the Borno State Government House, Maiduguri by Governor Babagana Zulum who had dispatched officials to fetch Ruth’s mother from Chibok after the young lady’s re-emergence from captivity over a week ago.
Ruth was received by the state government alongside her son, one of the two she bore for the Boko Haram commander she had been married off to while in captivity.
Ruth and her husband surrendered to soldiers on July 28 via the Federal Government’s Operation Safe Corridor in Bama, Borno State.
Zulum,speaking at the brief ceremony ,expressed delight that Ruth was back home safe and sound after seven years.
Zulum said the government would arrange a rehabilitation and reintegration programme for Ruth that will focus on her health, psychosocial wellbeing and her chosen path to a productive future, all of which will be determined by her.
He said reuniting with Ruth was a boost to keeping the hopes of parents, other family members and the Borno State alive.
