On May 17, hunters found Amina Ali Nkeki wandering around Boko Haram’s Sambisa Forest.
She was with her four-month-old baby and the baby’s father, a Boko Haram fighter who she said had helped her escape.
She then visited Aso Villa where the presidency announced that she would be taken on a rehabilitation programme and return to school.
No one has seen her since then.
The Bring Back Our Girls #BBOG movement and family members have demanded that the government provide news of the only girl among 219 still kidnapped to escape Boko Haram.
"Even this morning people came to my house asking if I had been able to find out her whereabouts. It’s outrageous! Some people are crying! We don’t understand why the government wants to keep her family away,” Yakubu Nkeki, an uncle of Amina Ali Nkeki, told The Associated Press.
Wednesday night marked the 800th day of Boko Haram’s mass abduction. In April 2014, 276 girls were kidnapped from a boarding school in Chibok, and 57 escaped. In a statement, Bring Back Our Girls also asked the government what it was doing to try to rescue the other girls.
Bring Back Our Girls also demanded that the government prosecute Mohammed Hayyatu, the father of Ali’s child, for auction and rape. The military said he is being held for interrogation.
