Chibok girl rescue raises hopes for others held by Boko Haram
The first of one of 219 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in Chibok, northeast Nigeria, more than two years ago has been found, the military and activists said Wednesday, raising hopes for those still being held. Amina Ali was discovered on Tuesday in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno state by civilian vigilantes assisting the military and was brought back to her home town of Mbalala, near Chibok. Yakubu Nkeki, head of the Abducted Chibok Girls Parents' group, said the teenager, who was 17 when she was abducted in April 2014, was brought to his house where she was reunited with her mother.
