The Northeast Joint Military Taskforce, Operation Hadinkai, has rescued three more Chibok girls and their children in Borno State.
Major General Wahid Shaibu, the General Commanding Officer (GOC) of the Nigerian Army’s 7 Division, made the announcement while briefing reporters at the command’s headquarters in Maimalari Cantonment, Maiduguri, on Friday.
He claimed that sustained military operations across the theatre had paved the way for most of the surrendered Boko Haram terrorists and allowed some of the Chibok girls to flee.
“Today we have three of the girls: Falmata Lawal, who was rescued on 30th August 2022 by troops of 21 Special Armour Brigade in Bama,” Shaibu said.Falmata has a child and she was one of the abducted students of Government Secondary School Chibok.
