Chibok girl finds love in US, sets to marry
Bishara Joy, one of the Chibok girls abducted but who escaped from jihadist terrorist group Boko Haram in 2014, has found a partner with whom she hopes to settled down.
Joy announced her engagement to her fiance, James-an American-in a tweet she posted.
Joy had tweeted: “I said yes to love, laughter and happily ever after with my best friend. James exceeds everything I ever prayed for …I am overjoyed to be starting this journey with the love of my life. Mr and Mrs loading.”
She equally posted pictures of her and her fiancé, James, on a beach, with the latter on bended knees while slipping a ring into her finger.
Bishara Joy’s journey to United States
Telling her story in a 2021 interview, Joy said she jumped off the truck conveying the abducted Chibok schoolgirls in 2014. According to her, “some Christians” helped to secure a U.S. visa for her travel.
“When we got to the US, other Christians who had heard our stories were always willing to help in all ways possible. A few churches donated towards our plans for a better life and other things,” she said in the interview.
The social work graduate from the Southern University, U.S., said at the time that she hoped to become the “voice of the voiceless and build my own agency where I will be helping those in need such as homeless people and persecuted Christians.”
