Speaking during the handing over, the Theatre Commander of Operation LAFIYA DOLE,  Major Gen. Lucky Irabor said Maryam had informed them that her predator and father of her son, was killed in one of the military operations at Sambisa forest.

"She revealed to our troops that her Boko Haram "husband" who is the father of her 10-month old baby named Ali was killed during one of the military operations in Sambisa Forest. I believe, and we are hopeful that all the other captives would be released. This has come, and it has strengthened our hope that the rest would be rescued" he said.
