Chibok Girl Gets Engaged!

Chibok Girl Gets Engaged!

One of the Chibok girls who escaped the terrorists recently got engaged in the United States!

We all remember the 2014 terror attack on the school girls in Chibok. There were 276 females, aged 16 to 18. They were abducted from their school, the Government Girls Secondary School, in Borno State, in northern Nigeria. This girl, now a young woman, managed to escape. There was a total of 57 girls who got away soon after they were captured.

Another group of more than 100 were rescued by the Armed Forces of Nigeria in ensuring years. But the rest are still unaccounted for.

Joy Bishara and her cousin, Lydia Pogu, were among those who jumped from the trucks that were carrying them. The two girls relocated to the US. Joy went to Southeastern University and majored in social work, graduating in 2021. Her fiancé is a man called James.

She says, “I said yes to love, laughter and happily ever after with my best friend. James exceeds everything I ever prayed for.”

I trust that she will be happy with him.
