Twenty one of the more
than 200 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamist Boko Haram insurgents in April
2014 has been released to the Nigerian government, a government source told
SaharaReporters.
The
sources disclosed that the girls were picked up by military helicopter from
Banki area of Borno state where Boko Haram militants dropped them off earlier
today.
The
release of the 21 girls comes as President Buhari began a three-day trip to
Germany to discuss assistance for the rebuilding of the northeastern part of
Nigeria ravaged by Boko Haram.
Saharareporters
could not immediately obtain the names of the girls released today.
