The Nigerian Army has rescued yet another kidnapped schoolgirl from Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok, eight years after they were abducted in 2014.
Ruth Bitrus was confirmed found by Troops of Operations Hadin Kai.
They said Ruth Bitrus escaped from Boko Haram captivity with her child.
Theatre Commander of Operations Hadin Kai, Major General GC Musa, made this known in Maimalarin Barracks during the official handing over of medical equipment by the North-East Development Commission to support the military on Wednesday.
He said: “You would recall that some weeks ago, we rescued two Chibok girls and their children, I will like to inform you that we have rescued another in the course of our operations.
“We will not rest until Leah Shaibu and other Chibok girls are returned and united with their families. We won’t rest until all of them are safely returned. Ruth Britus was rescued from Sambisa Forest with her son,” Maj Gen. Musa said.
In June, the troops rescued two Chibok girls, Mary Dauda and Hauwa Joseph, after they escaped from the Boko Haram camp in Gazuwa, located about nine kilometres from Bama Local Government Area of Borno.
On the night of April 14, 2014, 276 mostly Christian female students aged between 16 and 18 were kidnapped by the Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno.
