Twenty
one of the more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamist Boko
Haram insurgents in April 2014 has been released to the Nigerian
government, a government source told SaharaReporters.
The sources disclosed that the girls were picked up by military
helicopter from Banki area of Borno state where Boko Haram militants
dropped them off earlier today.
The release of the 21 girls comes as President Buhari began a
three-day trip to Germany to discuss assistance for the rebuilding of
the northeastern part of Nigeria ravaged by Boko Haram.
Saharareporters could not immediately obtain the names of the girls released today.
