GOVERNMENT troops have found another one of the missing Government Girls Secondary School Chibok pupils in the village of Pulka in Borno State near Nigeria's border with Cameroon.
In April 2014, 240 schoolgirls were abducted from their boarding school in Chibok while they slept during the night by terrorist sect Boko Haram. Since then, an international campaign has been mounted to free them and last month, 21 of them were released by Boko Haram.
According to the Nigerian military, another one of the girls was found at Pulka yesterday and has been rescued. Pulka is just outside the town of Gwoza in Borno state near the Mandara mountains separating Nigeria from Cameroon.
Government officials have said that they are hoping to secure the release of another 83 other girls from Chibok being held by a different factions of the extremist group. Boko Haram, however, said that some of the girls had converted to Islam, married its commanders and were now its members.
