Once upon a time, school girls were
abducted from their school, loaded into a truck and carted away into the
dreaded Sambisa Forest like a food supply chain, by the terrorist group, Boko
Haram. Three girls dared to escape from captivity, led by a reneged militia
boy, thru thick and thin vegetation, dead of night bloody skirmishes, and broad
daylight escapades…to freedom.
