Nigerian army frees kidnapped female students
Boko Haram is suspected of being behind the abduction of more than 100 women and girls from their school on Monday.
Nigerian soldiers have freed most of the more than 100 female pupils who were abducted by armed men in the northeast state of Borno, according to the country's military.
Major General Chris Olukolade, a spokesman for the military, said on Wednesday that one of the men involved in Monday's abduction of students from the Chibok government secondary school had been captured.
"With this development, the principal of the school has confirmed that only eight of the students are still missing," Olukolade said, adding that forces were continuing to search for them.
Olukolade would not specify how many had been rescued or give details on how or where they were freed.
