Troops of 21 Armoured Brigade of Nigerian Army have rescued two more of the abducted Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.
They were rescued on July 26, over eight years after their abduction on April 14, 2014.
Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad on Tuesday disclosed their rescue, giving their names as as Hannatu Musa and Kauna Luka. They were found by the troops in Bama Local Government Area of the State.
Sources confirmed that the girls escaped from Gazuwa camp, an acclaimed headquarters of the Jama’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihad, Boko Haram faction, formerly known as Mantari and Mallum Gabchari, Masari, located about nine kilometres to Bama town.
The escape by the girls may not be unconnected with the sustained offensives by the troops of Operation Hadin Kai which resulted to hunger and displacement in the terrorists’ enclaves.
The two girls are reportedly being profiled by the troops in Bama who would also ascertain their health status before reuniting them with their families.
Recall that a few weeks ago, the troops had rescued two Chibok girls: Mary Dauda and Hauwa Joseph after they escaped from the camp.
