The Nigerian Army says it has rescued another abducted Chibok schoolgirl.

Military authorities said troops rescued the girl early Saturday during an operation against Boko Haram insurgents at Pulka village of Gwoza local government in Borno State.

The girl, who was found with a 10-month-old baby, identified herself as Maryam Ali Maiyanga.

She also informed the soldiers that her son, whom she bore to a Boko Haram member, is named Ali.

The spokesman of the Army, Sani Usman, said in a statement that the girl had been taken to a military facility for medical attention.

“Troops of 121 Battalion, Nigerian Army, deployed at Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area, Borno State, for Operation LAFIYA DOLE today, Saturday 5th November 2016, at about 6.00am, while screening some escapees from Boko Haram terrorists hideout in Sambisa forest, discovered one of the abducted Government Secondary School Chibok girls, named Maryam Ali Maiyanga among them,” said Mr. Usman, a colonel.

“She was discovered to be carrying a 10-month-old son, named Ali. She has been taken to the unit’s medical facility for proper medical check up.

“It is imperative to state that troops have been working round the clock to clear remnants of Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hibernating and also rescue all persons held hostages by terrorists,” he said.
