Another Chibok girl rescued with baby

Barely three weeks after 21 Chibok girls were released by Boko Haram, one more girl has been set free.




The girls were part of 200 female students abducted from Chibok, Borno State in 2014.

A source told newsmen on Saturday morning that the girl was rescued by troops in Pulka, Gwoza area.

The source close to officials deployed to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Pulka said the young girl was found by the soldiers and brought to pulka.

“She has been confirmed to be one of the missing girls. Her name is Maryam.

She was seen with a baby. Both are currently receiving attention and will be escorted to Maiduguri soon,” he disclosed.

It would be recalled that the 21 Chibok girls recently freed appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and security agencies to expedite action in securing the freedom of their colleagues.

Confirming the news, Acting Spokesman of the Army, Sani Usman, said the girl was rescued at Pulka. He, however, said that there was equally a sad news but that details would be provided later.
