A teenage girl has described how she was raped by Boko Haram extremists
when the group attacked her home town of Maiduguri in Borno state.
In an exclusive interview with eNCA, the 19-year-old, whose real name could not be revealed to protect her identity, said her scarf was used to tie her hands and mouth before one of the group members raped her.
Her sister narrowly escaped the same fate.
The revelation of her ordeal comes as more than 200schoolgirls remain missing a month after they were abducted from their school in Chiboko.
The teenager's father apparently prevented her from writing her final examinations at the same school two months ago as he feared for her safety.
Her friends and classmates are part of the abducted girls and as she said during the interview: "I can imagine how they are suffering without anyone helping." She added that she was disappointed by the manner in which government had handled the situation.
