She said she and her husband, Adam, repented from insurgency and fled the terrorists enclave at the Dikwa axis, and reached a point where the troops rescued both of them.

However, since their rescue, she was separated from Adam, who was taken to the repentant insurgents camp.

According to her, she left behind two other Chibok girls.

Mary was abducted alongside over 200 students from the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, by Boko Haram terrorists in 2014.

She is the 16th girl rescued by troops in recent months.
