Girls Rescued From Sambisa Not Chibok Girls- Nigerian Army
Girls
rescued from Boko Haram terror camps in Sambisa Forest on Tuesday are
"not the Chibok girls," Nigerian Army spokesman Sani Usman said.
However, one official did not rule out that captives from other Boko Haram camps that were raided might include some of the 200 girls abducted in April 2014 from a school in Chibok.
Nigerian
troops rescued 200 girls and 93 women Tuesday in the Sambisa Forest in
the northeastern part of the country, the Nigerian Armed Forces
announced on its official Twitter account. The forest is a stronghold
for the militant Boko Haram group and is not far from Chibok.
Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said the rescued girls and
women are still being screened and none has spoken to their families
yet.
Reuters, AP and
Al-Jazeera however confirmed that an Army Spokesperson said Chibok
girls are not among the 293 girls and women rescued.
Army spokesman Col. Sani Usman told The Associated Press that troops destroyed and cleared four militant camps and rescued 200 abducted girls and 93 women "but they are not the Chibok girls."
