The Nigerian Military have rescued the abducted Yobe school girls on Wednesday night.
They were rescued at Jilli-Muwarti, a border village between Gaidam in Yobe state and Borno State.
It is still unclear how many of the girls they rescued.
Mr.
Abdullahi Bego, Director-General Press Affairs to Governor Ibrahim
Gaidam said the girls were currently in the custody of the Nigerian
military.
“The Yobe State Government hereby informs the public
that some of the girls at Government Girls Science Technical College
(GGSTC) whose school was attacked by Boko Haram terrorists last Monday
have been rescued by gallant officers and men of the Nigerian Army from
the terrorists who abducted them.
“The rescued girls are now in
the custody of the Nigerian Army. We will provide more details about
their number and condition in due course.
“Governor Ibrahim
Gaidam, who is very grateful for the gallantry and hard work of the
officers and men of the Nigerian Army involved in the operation, is
monitoring the situation closely and will make a statement in due
course,” he said.
The students are expected to undergo medical check-up before proceeding to Damaturu, the state capital.
The girls were abducted when suspected Boko Haram insurgents attacked Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi, in Yobe State.
