A woman was saved in Nigeria ten years after the Chibok kidnapping

A young woman who was taken hostage during the Chibok kidnapping ten years ago has reportedly been freed by Nigerian soldiers.

The Islamist extremist group Boko Haram abducted 276 girls from a secondary school in the town of Borno on April 14, 2014.

The global #BringBackOurGirls movement, which featured former US First Lady Michelle Obama, was sparked by the abductions that stunned the world.

Approximately one hundred of them are believed to be missing or still in captivity.

The young lady and her three children were rescued, the Nigerian army announced on Thursday.

It also stated that she claimed to be from Pemi Town in Chibok and was five months pregnant when she was rescued.

More than 180 girls who were taken hostage during the kidnapping have either managed to flee or have been released from Boko Haram’s hideouts in the northeastern state of Borno.

Several of the girls who were set free and saved have come home pregnant or with kids.

Additionally, several have criticized the Nigerian government for how they were treated in state care after coming home.

In Nigeria, mass kidnappings continue to be a concern, with kidnap gangs frequently seizing pupils from schools in exchange for ransom demands.

The nonprofit organization Save the Children claims that from early 2014 and the end of 2022, over 1,680 students were abducted.

In one of the biggest kidnappings in recent memory, gunmen in northwest Kaduna state abducted around 130 students from their school last month.

The Nigerian army claimed that all of the students had been saved by soldiers in the neighboring state of Zamfara a few weeks later, although no specifics of the operation have surfaced.
