Chibok Schoolgirls: Buhari Gov't Reveals Agenda As Victims Mark 9th Year In Boko Haram Den

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State on Saturday revealed that another Chibok girl has been rescued from captivity.

According to the governor, the rescued girl was married to a Boko Haram fighter and returned with two kids she delivered while in captivity.

Recall that 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
