Rescued 275 Women Narrate Ordeal In Sambisa Forest


Following last week’s successful rescue of 275 women from the captivity of the fading Boko Haram terrorist group in Sambisa Forest, one of the traumatized women on Sunday narrated her ordeal at the hands of the sect members.

Rescued 275 Women Narrate Ordeal In Sambisa Forest

Girls and women rescued from Sambisa in April. 2015


One of the returnees whose name was given as Asabe Aliyu, a 23-year-old mother of four children from Delsak, a village near Chibok town, told a Daily Times correspondent at Malkoi, one of the camps for displaced persons in Yola, Adamawa state, that beating was the order of the day in the Boko Haram camp.
Aliyu said she has been intermittently vomiting blood, an indication that she sustained internal injuries during her manhandling at the terrorist’s camp.
She said in addition to the deployment of all forms of vulgar words, the terrorists forced her into marrying one of them after a series of sexual assaults unleashed on her by different men on a daily basis.
Aliyu, who appears in poor health, further disclosed that death was the punishment for any infraction or mistake in Sambisa under the terrorist group.
“I was abducted six months ago in Delsak when our village was overrun by Boko Haram. First I had sojourned from my village to a forest close to Cameroun, they turned me into a sex machine. They took turns to sleep with me. Now, I am pregnant and I cannot identify the father,” she said.
Asabe went further to reveal that she even thought that the pregnancy would bring compassion from the sect, but was disappointed that with her condition as a pregnant woman she was still compelled to cook for the sect members.

President Jonathan "ENDS QUARREL" With Obasanjo

President Goodluck Jonathan seems to have improved on his relationship with former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, after sending him a rare message of commiseration on the death of his sister, Adunni Oluniola Eweje-Obasanjo. Since Obasanjo’s letter to the president went viral in December 2013, the president stopped all forms of felicitation or commiseration with the former head of state. Before then, though, Jonathan had “nothing but the greatest respect for Obasanjo” and he had said he would not probe his benefactor. “The president has nothing but the greatest respect for Chief Obasanjo’s very notable contributions to national growth and development over many years and far from taking offence or seeking retaliation, will always welcome objective criticism and advice from the very highly-regarded elder statesman,” Reuben Abati, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, wrote in 2013. Evidence of a sour relationship between the duo came to fore in December, when Abati, ...

Fabric that stores information invisibly, without electronics

A new type of smart fabric developed at the University of Washington could pave the way for jackets that store invisible passcodes and open the door to your apartment or office. The UW computer scientists have created fabrics and fashion accessories that can store data -- from security codes to identification tags -- without needing any on-board electronics or sensors. Using magnetic properties of conductive thread, University of Washington researchers are able to store data in fabric. In this example, the code to unlock a door is stored in a fabric patch and read by an array of magnetometers. As described in a paper presented Oct. 25 at the Association for Computing Machinery's User Interface Software and Technology Symposium (UIST 2017), they leveraged previously unexplored magnetic properties of off-the-shelf conductive thread. The data can be read using an instrument embedded in existing smartphones to enable navigation apps. "This is a completely electronic-f...
