The Nigerian military has confirmed
that it has freed majority of the 129 female students of the Government Girls’
Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.
The students were kidnapped on
Monday night by suspected Boko Haram members.
In a statement on Wednesday evening,
the spokesperson of the Defence Headquarters, DHQ, Chris Olukolade, confirmed
that only 8 of the girls were still held captive by the soldiers.
Of the 129 kidnapped students, the
Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, earlier in the day confirmed that 14 of
the girls escaped from their abductors.
“More students of the Government
Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok have been freed this evening in the on-going
search and rescue operations to free the abducted students,” Mr. Olukolade, a
Major General, said. “With this development, the Principal of the School
confirmed that only 8 of the students are still missing. One of the terrorists
who carried out the attack on the school has also been captured.”
“Efforts are underway to locate the
remaining 8 students.”
With 14 of the girls escaping on
their own, and 8 still unaccounted for, it implies the military freed 107 of
the kidnapped female students.
