Nigeria Military Says Most of Abducted Schoolgirls Freed
Nigeria’s military said on Wednesday its forces had freed most of the more than 100 teenage schoolgirls abducted by Islamist Boko Haram militants and were continuing the search for eight students still missing.
In a brief statement sent to media, spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said one of the “terrorists” involved in Monday’s abduction of female students from the Chibok government secondary school in northeast Borno state had been captured.
“With this development, the principal of the school has confirmed that only eight of the students are still missing,” Olukolade said, adding that the rescue operation was continuing.
