it helped rescue Amina (img. attached)

Excerpt:

"One of the vigilantes, who surveyed the faces of women
in the house, paid special attention to Amina. He realised
that she looked like the people from one of the Chibok
communities. He spoke to her in their local dialect
and she responded," he said.

Amina said Mohammed was also captured and forced to
become a member of the Boko Haram. The terrorists'
commander, who was in charge of handling her and other
women, directed that she should marry Mohammed and
she had no option but to agree," he said.

Jummai Salama, who was present when Amina was taken
to her mother, said the girl told the vigilantes that her
"husband" was not far from where she was found and
wanted him to be rescued also....

"Somehow, I think she got used to the young man and
does not want him to be killed, probably because she
has a child for him," She said.
