Bring Back Our Girls campaigners hold banners as they walk during a protest procession marking the 500th day since the abduction of girls in Chibok, along a road in Lagos August 27, 2015. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram kidnapped some 270 girls and women from a school in Chibok a year ago. More than 50 eventually escaped, but at least 200 remain in captivity, along with scores of other girls kidnapped before the Chibok girls.

Nkeki Mutah, father of one of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls, speaks at a meeting to review efforts to recover the abducted Chibok girls organised by the Chibok Community Association in collaboration with the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, in Abuja, January 1, 2015. Parents of 200 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamist Boko Haram rebels in April said they were appealing directly to the United Nations for help after losing hope that the Nigerian government would rescue them.

Nigeria's President-elect Muhammadu Buhari vowed on Tuesday to make every effort to free the schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram militants a year ago but admitted it was not clear whether they would ever be found. A march is expected to be held in Abuja on Tuesday to mark the anniversary.

Nigerians take part in a protest, called by Malaga's Nigerian women Association, for the release of the abducted secondary school girls in the remote village of Chibok in Nigeria, at La Merced square in Malaga, southern Spain May 13, 2014. The leader of the Nigerian Islamist rebel group Boko Haram has offered to release more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by his fighters last month in exchange for its members being held in detention, according to a video posted on YouTube on Monday.

One Chibok girl who managed to escape Nigerian terror group Boko Haram has revealed that many of the 200 Christian schoolgirls abducted in April 2014 are still alive. But the girls have suffered greatly under the jihadists with a number of them impregnated and carrying diseases, while those who have refused to convert to Islam have been killed.

The Saturday Vanguard reported that one of the kidnapped girls who was kept in the Sambisa forest camp managed to escape captivity, and was rescued by Fulani herdsmen. She revealed that many of the girls have been relocated to the Lake Chad region following heavy military operations on the Sambisa forest by Nigeria's government.

"All of us were forced to become Muslims but kept in camps far from each other," the girl said. "You can only see and recognize those in your camp as any of us who refused being Islamized was either beheaded or shot at point blank range."

The escapee revealed that many of the girls were forcefully married to the terrorists, who impregnated them and infected some of them with different diseases. The girl herself was both impregnated and contracted the VVF disease from one of the militants.

She added that almost all of the girls have been married off to Boko Haram militants, with a number of them already giving birth to the babies.

The escapee asserted her belief that the Islamic militants have been seriously weakened due to the ongoing military campaign against them, and are moving around from camp to camp, planting mines and other explosive devices.

The Chibok girls are said to be kept at different camps, including in Kangoora, Mallam Fatori, Damasak, Tunbun Kaka and Tumbum Gira.

Boko Haram has been waging war on the government since 2009, seeking to drive out all Christians from the country and kill anyone, including Muslims, who stand in its way. It has destroyed entire villages, committing mass slaughters, and has expanded its attacks in neighboring countries such as Chad and Cameroon.

President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to rid the country of the jihadist group, though the Islamic militants continue carrying out bombings. At least seven people were killed in the northeastern city of Maiduguri in the latest attack on Tuesday, following a triple bomb blast on a densely populated suburb.

Nigeria's military has claimed that Boko Haram's actions are getting more desperate, The Associated Press reported.

"The noose is tightening around the terrorists," Nigeria's Defence Headquarters said earlier this week. "We will continue the momentum until terrorists are extinct in Nigeria."

Human rights monitoring groups like Amnesty International have said that close to 20,000 people have died in the six-year insurgency.

The fate of the Chibok girls has especially captivated the world's attention and their plight made headline news throughout 2014.

Back in August, Rev. Samuel Dali of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria, who said he is the pastor of many of the Chibok girls, revealed that as many as 8,000 members of the congregations he oversees have been killed by Boko Haram.

"Seventy percent of our churches have been destroyed in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states by Boko Haram; over 8,000 of our members were killed; 176 of the girls kidnapped in Chibok are our members," Dali revealed.
