One more Chibok girl returns with two kids, handed over to Borno governor
One of the 111 Chibok schoolgirls still in the custody of the Boko Haram kidnappers since 2014, has reportedly turned herself over to the Nigerian military in Gwoza town of Borno State, officials said, Saturday.
The girl, Hassana Adamu, was reportedly received by the state governor, Babagana Zulum, who was in Gwoza town on an official trip same day.
A statement confirming the development released by Governor Zulum’s media aide, Isa Gusau, said the Chibok girl was handed over to the Borno governor by the Commander, 26 Task Force Brigade, Brigadier General DR Dantani,
“The Chibok schoolgirl, Hassana Adamu, alongside her two children, was handed over to Governor Zulum by the Commander, 26 Task Force Brigade, Brigadier General DR Dantani.
“Zulum was in Gwoza from there he moved to Bama, undertaking humanitarian activities. He had just returned from northern Borno where he spent five days for humanitarian interventions,” Gusau said.
Hassana was one of over 200 schoolgirls abducted at the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, on April 14, 2014, by Boko Haram insurgents.
She escaped from seven-year captivity about two weeks after her mate, Ruth Pogu, also regained freedom.
That was after the man Ms Pogu identified as her husband, a suspected member of Boko Haram surrendered to Nigerian soldiers in Bama, 49 kilometres from Gwoza town.
