Hours after Amina Ali, one of the Chibok girls rescued on Wednesday from the insurgents, met with President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the Nigerian Army announced the rescue of another of the girls on Thursday evening.
Army spokesperson, Usman Sani, a colonel, who confirmed the rescue, gave the name of the rescued girl as Serah Luka, said to be number 157 on the list of abducted school girls.
Mr. Usman later narrated how the abducted girl was rescued.
He said in a statement, “At about 11.00am today, Thursday, 19th May 2016, troops of 231 Battalion, 331 Artillery Regiment (AR), Detachment of Armed Forces Special Forces (AFSF) 2, Explosive Ordinance (EOD) Team and Civilian Vigilante group of Buratai, conducted clearance operations at Shettima Aboh, Hong and Biladdili general area in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
“During the operations, the troops killed 35 Boko Haram terrorists and recovered several arms and ammunitions and other items. In addition, they rescued 97 women and children held captives by the Boko Haram terrorists.
“We are glad to state that among those rescued is a girl believed to be one of the Chibok Government Secondary School girls that were abducted on 14th April 2014 by the Boko Haram terrorists.
“Her name is Miss Serah Luka, who is number 157 on the list of the abducted school girls. She is believed to be the daughter of Pastor Luka. During debriefing, the girl revealed that she was a JSS1 student of the school at the time they were abducted.
She further added that she hails from Madagali, Adamawa State. She averred that she reported at the school barely two months and one week before her unfortunate abduction along with other girls over two years ago.
“She added that there other three girls who fled from Shettima Aboh when the troops invaded the area earlier today which led to their rescue. She is presently receiving medical attention at the medical facility of Abogo Largema Cantonment, Biu, Borno State.”
The first rescued girl, Amina Nkeki, was reportedly rescued Wednesday and was received by President Muhammadu Buhari in a State House ceremony Thursday afternoon, with a four-month-old child she reportedly gave birth to while in captivity.
Amina was rescued by the civilian JTF close to the notorious Sambisa forest, over two years after her abduction by militants.

Js1? I thought they girls that were taken were supposed to be writing WAEC and that was why they were present at that time?
ReplyDeleteThey are bereft of ideas now . I thought this whole scam was supposed to end when Buhari ascended the presidency??. There is no need of carrying on with this scam . Ok, now l understand, they just want to garnish it to appear authentic to the gullible public. This is just the ending part of the block buster home video. Stupid and mumu people. So called Chibok school girls that are preparing for WAEC, yet they can't speak English language. Which language were they supposed to write the exam, is it their Hausa language or any of their local dialects??
DeleteNna, you people should leave this lies that was not acted properly.

Don't mind truth is gradually coming out.The truth has always been there.It is only a matter of time for it to come to light and Nigerians will be amazed by the extent some desperate politician and people can go to achieve their crooked aims. It is a pity. But APC led government will go down in history as the worst government ever.clueless incompetent wicked selfish ignorant morally corrupt nepotistic insensitive heartless and confused set of people and party.May God deliver poor Nigerians from their wicked and insensitive hands.
