Amina
Ali Mkeki, one of the Chibok girls infamously kidnapped by Boko Haram
in 2014 has been rescued near Sambisa Forest, government sources and
activists have told SaharaReporters.
Amina was found in the
Kulakeita area in the company of her Boko Haram husband, and was
immediately rescued by vigilantes who handed her over to Nigerian troops
in Damboa.
She reportedly told the soldiers that six of the
girls have died, while the others have been married off to Boko Haram
commanders, and that they were all still in Sambisa Forest as of the
time of her rescue.
Our sources say Amina was breastfeeding a
baby during her rescue, but it was not immediately clear if the Boko
Haram commander caught with her was the father of the baby.
The
development, the Nigerian military said in a text message by Col. SK
Usman to SaharaReporters that "Falmata Mbalala" was rescued by Nigerian
troops.
SaharaReporters has confirmed that Amina is from Mbalala community, near Chibok.
The
rescued girls is currently in transit on her way to Maiduguri the Borno
state capital where the state governor is expected to receive her from
Nigerian troops.
