Chibok girl snatched by Boko Haram found

LAGOS, Nigeria — One of the teenagers kidnapped by Boko Haram extremists over two years ago from a school in northeastern Nigeria has been found with a baby and was reunited Wednesday with her mother — the first of the Chibok girls to be freed since the mass abduction.

The young woman told her mother that some of the Chibok girls have died in captivity and the others still are held by Boko Haram, according to family’s doctor, Idriss Danladi, who spoke after a conversation with the mother.

“This is to confirm that one of the abducted Chibok school girls ... was among the rescued persons by our troops,” said a one-line statement from army spokesman Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman.

The girl’s mother tried to commit suicide some months after her daughter was seized, said Danladi, who is from Chibok and has treated several of the parents.
