The bracelets that Sarah gradually accrues are symbols of her increasing complicit and apathy towards the Boko Haram mission and ideology. Rather than continue to resist this ideology, like Ya Ta does, Sarah allows her love for her husband to cloud her sense of justice and morality. As Sarah begins to excuse more and more of Boko Haram’s misdeeds, she also begins to wear more and more bracelets (presumably given to her by her husband).
