Seven years after their kidnap, another student of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, has been rescued from captivity.
The governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, disclosed this on Saturday at the Government House in Maiduguri.
The rescued girl, who was said to have been married to a Boko Haram fighter, has already given birth to two kids while being held captivity.
About 276 students of Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, were kidnapped on April 14, 2014 by Boko Haram terrorists.
The abduction caused a stir worldwide, leading to calls for the return of the girls by global figures, including then First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.
Although a good number of the students have regained their freedom, about 100 are still believed to be in captivity.
In April, seven years after the abduction, Zulum pledged to safely recover the remaining girls.
“As a father of all sons and daughters of Borno, I haven’t lost hope that our remaining Chibok schoolgirls and other abducted persons will be safely recovered,” the Governor said.
