The wife of Maga, the slain Vice Principal of Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, has described how her daughter escaped during the deadly attack that resulted in the abduction of 25 schoolgirls.
The family was sleeping when the attackers broke into their home around 3:30 a.m., according to Amina Hassan.
“We were sleeping around three in the morning when I heard footsteps behind our window,” I said. I then attempted to alert my husband by letting him know that our outdoor items are being destroyed by animals. There was a bang on our door before I realized it, she said, and it was forcefully opened.
According to Mrs. Hassan, they initially believed there was an animal cause the disturbance.
“So I called my husband to let him know that the animals have invaded our home and are systematically destroying our belongings.” We became aware that they were robbers carrying guns and not animals as soon as he erupted.
We began to have issues with them. Then one of them shot my husband with his gun as he pulled it out. She said, “Then they dragged me by my hand outside the house.”
She continued, “I told them to leave me alone because they have murdered the father of my children and are requesting that the children sleep,” and that I would not go with them.
Mrs. Hassan claimed that her daughter intervened during the conflict.
When my daughter came out, I was still arguing with them. Then they took her with them, leading them to the hostel, and then they left me.
Then they instructed her to recline so they could also shoot her. She then instructed them to “I should lay down so that you can shoot me.” They responded “yes.”
She then requested that they let her leave to unwind. They then opened the door and saw other girls, causing my girl to lose her mind, she said.
The wife of the vice principal claimed that by removing this distraction, her daughter was able to escape.
She was able to escape into the bush by doing that. It was already morning by the time she returned, she said.
