According
to Premium Times, a yet unclear number of the Chibok girls kidnapped by the
extremist Boko Haram sect in April have been released, officials said.
A top
military source said two Toyota Hiace buses loaded with the girls were driven
into the Maimalari Barracks in Maiduguri this evening.
When
contacted, Defence Spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, confirmed the development.
He said
the exercise was still ongoing and that appropriate statement would be made
soon.
The over
200 girls, mostly teenagers, were kidnapped from their secondary school in
Chibok, Borno State, on April 14.
Details
of the negotiation that led to the release of the girls is unclear at this
time. Mr. Olukolade said such details would only be provided later.
More details
later…
