Chibok girl kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria found after more than two years
Amina Ali Nkeki is the first to be rescued since the abduction of at least 275 girls from a school in the African nation’s Chibok town.
One of the schoolgirls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terror outfit from Nigeria's Chibok town in 2014 has been found, BBC reported. She is the first to be rescued since at least 275 girls were taken from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok on the night of April 14-15 two years ago.
Amina Ali Nkeki was found by vigilantes on Tuesday when they went in search of firewood in Sambisa Forest, close to Nigeria's border with Cameroon, activists said. A civilian fighter belonging to the Civilian Joint Task Force vigilante group reportedly recognised her. The group was set up to help in the fight against Boko Haram.
According to Hosea Abana Tsambido, chairman of the Chibok community in Nigerian capital Abuja, Amina said all the other abducted girls were in Sambisa Forest, besides six of them who already died.
The girls' kidnapping had triggered a social media campaign worldwide, #BringBackOurGirls, which involved numerous known personalities as well as First Lady Michelle Obama.
