The schoolgirl is the first to be rescued since members of the Islamist militant group stormed the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in April 2014 and abducted almost 300 girls.

One of the schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram militants in an infamous mass kidnapping in northeast Nigeria has been rescued, an army spokesman and a vigilante leader said on Wednesday. Dozens escaped in the first hours, but 219 remained missing. Parents insisted that more than 200 girls were still missing.
She was found on Tuesday and reunited with her family.
Amina Ali Nkeki was a kid when she was abducted, but after two years, she is now accompanied by a baby and a man who claims to be her husband. She had a baby with her and was severely traumatized, according to her uncle. He said her mother had confirmed her identity.
She was with a suspected Boko Haram fighter who is now in the Nigerian military’s custody.
“We have some information that about six of the abducted Chibok School girls lost their lives”.
The Nigerian Army had earlier announced the rescue of one of the abducted Chibok school girls and promised to give more information.
“It was in the dead of night, from their dorms”.
“From now on, I shall call out any media that writes or says “her Boko Haram husband” for that predator that violated #AminaAli”.
However, a relative of Nkek said the young woman was found pregnant. It really touched the world consciousness.
