According to the report by Vanguard, Glory Mainta said that it was very painful to be separated from her parents. She said that following her release, she returned back to school, and that she has since graduated from secondary school.
Mainta said, “I am one of the abducted Chibok girls. It was painful to be separated from my parents. My captors did a lot of things to me and other girls. We were beaten, shouted at – there’s nothing that they didn’t do to us. While they didn’t force us to marry them, what they did to us was worse.
