‘Chibok girl’ escapes from Boko Haram captivity

One of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls has escaped from her Boko Haram captors.

Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, confirmed this to TheCable on Wednesday.

However, he did not make further disclosure.

This is coming a few days after 82 of the girls were released to the Nigerian government.

About 276 girls were kidnapped from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state on April 14, 2014.

Since then a number of them have regained freedom. 57 of the girls escaped the night they were kidnapped while three of the girls were later found.

Twenty-one of the girls were released in October, 2016 while a good another number of the girls, 82, were released on May 6.

The government said the 82 girls were swapped with Boko Haram prisoners.

In total, 164 girls have regained freedom while 112 of them are still in captivity.
