Joy Bishara, one of the schoolgirls who were abducted by Boko Haram terrorists in 2014 from Government Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State is engaged to her lover, James in the United States.
Bishara, who turned 27 last month, announced her engagement to James on her Instagram page on Tuesday, July 25, 2023.
She wrote, “I said yes to Love, laughter, and happily ever after with my best friend. James exceeds everything I ever prayed for. God’s faithfulness amazes me daily. I am overjoyed to be starting this journey with the love of my life. Mr & Mrs Loading….”
Recall that the terrorists kidnapped a total of 276 female students from the school but some of them escaped while they were being carted away.
Bishara and her cousin, Lydia Pogu were among the 57 schoolgirls who jumped from the trucks in which they were being transported. Following their escape, Bishara and Pogu relocated to the United States, where they both obtained a degree from Southeastern University in 2021. Bishara graduated with a degree in social work while Pogu has a degree in legal studies.
