 Chibok girl 'misses militant who fathered her child'

Abuja 17 Aug (ANA) - The Chibok girl who escaped from the captivity of Nigeria's notorious Boko Haram group says she misses the man - identified by the military as a militant Islamist - who is the father of her four-month-old baby, Reuters news agency reports. In her first interview since being rescued, Amina Ali, 21,  told Reuters:  "I want him to know that I am still thinking about him. Just because we got separated, that does not mean that I don't think about him." Ms Ali is the only Chibok girl to have escaped since the high-profile abduction of more than 200 of them from a boarding school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014.  She was found by local people in a forest with the suspected militant who identified himself as her husband and their child. The Nigerian government kept her and the child in a safe house for a "restoration process", while the whereabouts of the child's father are unknown. Ms Ali told Reuters: "I just want to go home - I don't know about school. I will decide about school when I get back, but I have no idea when I will be going home."(ANA)
