Defiled and bloody, tethered to a tree, school uniforms ripped: How this 15-year-old boy rescued two girls from Boko Haram

Their faces scratched and bleeding, the two teenage girls were found tethered to trees - left in the Nigerian bush to die by Islamist terror group Boko Haram (leader Abubakar Shekau inset). Despite having been raped and dragged through the bush, they were alive - but only just. They were found a week after 276 girls (main) were taken from their boarding school in the village of Ba'ale, an hour's drive from Chibok. Here, BARBARA JONES speaks with Baba Goni, 15, (left) who found the two abandoned girls. He too was taken by the group and held hostage for two years before escaping and in this chilling account tells of Boko Haram's reign of terror in the region.
