Tears, ecstasy as 82 freed Chibok girls meet their parents

Tears of joy flowed ceaselessly on Saturday as 82 Chibok schoolgirls who were rescued two weeks ago reunited with their parents in Abuja.

The 82 Chibok girls were also reunited with 23 of their colleagues who were rescued in October 2016.

The 103 girls are among the 276 abducted from Chibok Government Secondary School, Borno, on April 14, 2014.

Bashir Ahmad, an assistant to the president on new media, shared on Twitter a video of the joyous reunion.
