Second Chibok girl found

A second Chibok schoolgirl has been rescued, Nigeria's army said Thursday, after President Muhammadu Buhari met the first chibok girl who was found wandering at sambisa forest.

Her rescue has

voiced fresh hope for the rescuing of the other chibok girls held in captive.

Army spokesman Colonel Sani Usman said the girl was found by troops and civilian vigilantes at about 11:00 am  on Thursday in the sambisa forest area of Borno state, northeast Nigeria, during military operations.

"Her name is  Serah Luka," he added in a statement, saying she was believed to be a Christian pastor's daughter and originally from Madagali, in neighbouring Adamawa state.

Boko Haram's shadowy leader, Abubakar Shekau, has previously claimed all the girls had converted to Islam.

Buhari said he was "delighted" at her release and the government was doing "all it can to rescue the remaining Chibok girls", who were abducted from the remote town in northeast Nigeria on April 14, 2014.

"Amina's rescue gives us new hope, and offers a unique opportunity for vital information," he said.

A total of 276 girls were kidnapped from the Government Girls Secondary School. Fifty-seven escaped in the hours that followed.

The abduction provoked global outrage and brought worldwide attention to the conflict but until Amina and the latest student were found, there were few indications about their possible release. We believe the first rescued chibok girl will provided the most needed information in rescuing the remaining held captive chibok girls.
