Sisters Yagana, 21, Yakaka 19 and Falimata, 14, were all abducted and held captive by Boko Haram until they escaped.  “After invading Bama, the Boko Haram insurgents came to my
house, one of them saw me and said, ‘I want to marry you.’ I said, ‘I will not marry you. My parents will not give me to you. Then he said, ‘O.K., that is easy. Let me kill them, so that you
will now be the one to decide.’ We got married in the Sambisa forest. Three months later, my husband was killed. I was pregnant by that point.”
