The girls, who were freed on
Wednesday, were airlifted to Abuja aboard a military plane from Maiduguri,
Borno state capital.
Out of the 110 pupils abducted from
Government Secondary School Dapchi, Yobe state on February 19, the federal
government said 104 were returned by the terrorists with six unaccounted for.

of interior; Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim, minister of state for foreign affairs
and Goni Lawan Bukar, a member of the house of representatives from Dapchi.
