Friday, January 06, 2017 0


Rakiya Abubakar, one of the Chikok girls abducted by the dreaded Boko Haram Islamic sect in April 2014 has been recovered by troops of the Nigerian Army during operation Lafiya Dole among some arrested Boko Haram suspects.

She was discovered with her with her six months old baby in Alagarno in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State during interrogation of some of the arrested suspects in military custody.

According to statement released by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman, yesterday, in Abuja on the recovered young woman, “it was discovered that she is the daughter of Abubakar Gali Mulima and Habiba Abubakar of Chibok.”



He further added that the girl will be handed over to Borno State Government after proper medical examination.

Rakiya was a student of Senior Secondary School Class 3B (SS 3B), before her abduction along with her colleagues on 14th April 2014 by the Boko Haram terrorists. 

She is presently undergoing further medical investigation and would soon be released to the Borno State Government.

Meanwhile, the Army Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, informed journalists that Boko Haram has been wiped out in the North East. He said the terrorist group could no longer regroup to wreak havoc in the region. 
In his address to journalist in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, yesterday, the army general called for vigilance, noting that some of the terrorists who escaped could be struggling to infiltrate communities. He said the few attacks by the group recently were carried out by fleeing remnants of the sect. 
“Boko Haram is gone in Nigeria and it has gone for good. There is no Jupiter that can bring Boko Haram. What we are doing is to only sensitize citizens on the need to alert us on fleeing Boko Haram members. 
“Boko Haram and all its apparatus have been completely destroyed. Boko Haram members are in disarray and that was why we issued a statement, last week, that due to the ongoing crackdown on Boko Haram, some escapees may try to integrate into the communities,” he said.
