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.
