One of the Chibok girls abducted in April 2014 has reportedly been found
by troops of operation Lafiya Dole among some Boko Haram arrested
suspects.
A check by our correspondent, however, revealed that the name of the new
girl is not on the list of 219 girls released by the Bring Back our Girls
campaign group, unlike other rescued girls whose names appeared on the
list.
Going by the information provided by Brig. Gen Sani Usman, the name close
to that of Rakiya Abubakar is Rakiya Gali on number 49 since she is said
to be the daughter of Abubakar Gali as the surname matches the first name
provided by the army.
.There is also another Rakiya Kwamta on number 54 on the list.
The Director of Army Public Relation Brig. Gen. Sani Usman who gave the
name of the girl as Rakiya Abubakar said the girl was discovered with her
six months old baby during interrogation of some arrested Boko Haram
suspects in military custody.
The statement added that the girl will be handed over to Borno State
Government after proper medical examination.
The statement reads; “Troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE during
investigation of arrested suspected Boko Haram terrorists discovered one
of the abducted Chibok School girls, Rakiya Abubkar, with her six months
old baby.
“According to preliminary investigation, it was discovered she is the
daughter of Abubakar Gali Mulima and Habiba Abubakar of Chibok.
“She further stated that she was a student of Senior Secondary School
Class 3B (SS 3B), before her abduction along with her colleagues on 14th
April 2014 by the Boko Haram terrorists.
“Rakiya Abubakar is presently undergoing further medical investigation
and would soon be released to the Borno State Government,” the statement
said.
