Boko Haram have released two of the young Nigerian girls kidnapped in 2014

In 2014, terrorist group Boko Haram kidnapped over 200 young women from the town of Chibok in north-eastern Nigeria.

Yesterday, a second girl from the 200 was rescued from the group, alongside 96 other women and children who were held captive. The Guardian report that the second girl is named Sara Luka and she escaped the camp in Sambisa forest yesterday. This follows the escape on Tuesday of Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki who met the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari yesterday. She gave birth to a baby girl while in captivity who is now four months old. Buhari made a statement, vowing to locate the remaining young women still in captivity.

“Like all Nigerians and many others around the world, I am delighted at the news that Amina Ali Nkeki, one of the missing Chibok girls, has regained her freedom. But my feelings are tinged with deep sadness at the horrors the young girl has had to go through at such an early stage in her life.”

In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. According to the BBC Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but the rest were still in the Sambisa forest where she was found.
