Woman rescued 10 years after Chibok kidnapping


The abductions shocked the world and led to the global #BringBackOurGirls campaign, which included former US First Lady Michelle Obama.

It is thought that almost 100 of them are still captive or are missing.

On Thursday, the Nigerian army said it had rescued the young woman together with her three children.

She was five months’ pregnant at the time of her rescue and claimed to be from Pemi Town in Chibok, it added.

More than 180 girls captured during the abduction have either escaped or been freed from Boko Haram hideouts in Sambisa forest in Borno, a north-eastern state.

Some of the freed and rescued girls have returned home pregnant or with children.
