Her devotion to her work led Hauwa to Rann, a town in Kala/Balge LG in Borno State. It’s the easternmost LGA in Nigeria, on the edge of Sambisa forest.
The area has been a hotbed of the insurgency for years. The young aid worker was abducted there when Boko Haram attacked the town on March 1, 2018.
