General Waidi said the troops rescued the victims from different locations in Borno state between September 29 and October 2.

The Nigerian Army on Friday said its troops rescued two Chibok school girls and 99 other abductees from Boko Haram camps in Borno State.

This was revealed by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division and Commander Sector 1 Joint Task Force North East Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), Major General Waidi Shaibu while briefing newsmen in Maiduguri.

General Waidi said the troops rescued the victims from different locations in Borno state between September 29 and October 2.

The rescued girls are Rejoice Sanki, 24, and mother of two children; and Yagana Poly, 24, a mother of four.

 The 99 other rescued abductees include 47 women.

Boko Haram insurgents kidnapped 276 female students from the Government Girls Secondary School Chibok in April 2014.

SaharaReporters had also reported earlier this month that troops of Operation Hadin Kai rescued another Chibok girl, Yana Pogu, who had a four-month-old set of twins in Borno State.

It was gathered that Pogu married one of the Amir (Commanders) who fled the onslaught and left behind his wife and four children.
