One of the Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram more than two years ago has been rescued, along with her 10-month old boy fathered by one of the kidnappers.
Nigerian troops said they carried out a pre-dawn raid on a forest hideout to rescue the girl, the Associated Press reported.
However, an earlier Reuters report suggested the girl was found in Borno state by soldiers screening escapees from Boko Haram’s base in the Sambisa forest.
Bring Back Our Girls, a campaign group with close ties to the relatives of those abducted, said “preliminary investigations” showed the girl was no 198 on its register of the kidnapped girls.
