BREAKING: Eight Years After, Troops Rescue Two Chibok Girls

Onyxnewsng reports that the military troops of Operation Hadin Kai have rescued Hauwa Dauda and Mary Joseph after they escaped from Boko Haram camp.

On April 14, 2014, over 200 schoolgirls were abducted when insurgents attacked the Government Girls’ Secondary School (GGSS) in Chibok, Borno state.

The abduction of the girls in 2014 was followed by a global outcry that birthed the #BringBackOurGirls movement.

Hauwa, who hails from Mbalala in Askira Uba LGA of Borno state, was rescued alongside her one-year-old child at Ngazua village in Bama LGA of Borno state.

This newspaper gathered that Hauwa was forcefully married to one Munzur, six years ago.

According to Hauwa, she escaped when the Nigerian Army raided a camp where she was kept with Munzur, who died during the military operation.

For Mary Dauda, she was rescued by troops with her one-year-old son, Ayuba, in the general area of Gava in Gwoza LGA, Borno.

Mary, who is said to hail from Rumingo in Chibok LGA of Borno, was about 19 years old at the time of her abduction.
