French news medium, Jeune Afrique, has said that the kidnapped Chibok
girls have been seen in troubled Central African Republic with armed
men.
They said the girls were seen with armed men in Birao, a small village
in the north of CAR.
The French report was translated by Punch reporters and it states
that: "The Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram have passed
through the northern CAR, escorted by armed men. Based on several
testimonies of inhabitants, the women arrived Wednesday, April 30
aboard trucks.
"They were guarded by heavily armed men, who spoke English, and also
members of the former (CAR) rebel group Seleka."
Seleka is an Islamic rebel militia that took over the CAR government
last year and has put in their leader as President. The group has been
carrying out several executions, rape and looting, making France send
more troops to the troubled area.
The French paper continued: "According to our source, the convoy of
two trucks and a pickup was previously seen at Tiroungoulou (about 170
kilometres southwest of Birao) and perhaps Chad."
"Upon arrival, some were frightened, cried and were violently rebuked
in English. The girls and their guardians were then housed for several
days in a house. The group reportedly left the scene on the night of
Sunday to Monday, May 4 to 5, without a trace," the report said.
Meanwhile, the Cameroonian government has denied reports that most of
the girls were married off in the country.
