One more Chibok girl rescued - she was kidnapped along with 275 others in April 2014

With the rescue of a second Chibok girl who had been kidnapped, along with 275 others, by Boko Haram militants in April 2014, the matter has once again come to the forefront. The girls were in the age group 16 to 18. This second girl was found in Nigeria, two years after she and 275 others were taken from their secondary school. She was rescued during a military operation against IS-affiliated fighters Boko Haram and was taken to hospital.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 20 May 2016.

The rescued girl is the daughter of a pastor and had only started at the boarding school in Chibok a little more than two months before the Boko Haram raid and her kidnap. This news comes just two days after another of the abducted students was found.
It seems most of the girls were still in the Sambisa forest which is the biggest stronghold of Boko Haram. However, the 19-year-old was traumatised and was carrying a baby. She has said that six of her classmates were already dead.
The girl and her mother met Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari at his official residence in Abuja and were assured that the government was "doing all it can to rescue the remaining Chibok girls". There was international outrage when the girls were abducted from their school during a Boko Haram raid on Chibok in April 2014. While fifty-seven of them managed to escape the same day, the others are held prisoners. It led to high-profile figures, including America's first lady Michelle Obama, joining the campaign #BringBackOurGirls. But - noting much has been done.
Boko Haram militants have, till now, killed an estimated 15,000 people and kidnapped hundreds of men, women and children during a six-year campaign - they want to establish an Islamic caliphate in northeastern Nigeria.
