According to Sky News, one of the Chibok schoolgirls
kidnapped by Boko Haram two years ago has been rescued by the Nigerian army for
the first time.
Last month, some of the youngsters were released by the
Islamist group through negotiations with the country's government while another
managed to escape on her own in May.
In the latest case the girl, carrying a 10-month-old son
whose father is an extremist, was saved as soldiers screened people who fled a
militant hideout in Sambisa forest.
Maryam Ali Maiyanga was rescued in Pulka, Borno state, near
the border with Cameroon and was later taken to an army medical facility for a
check-up.
