Troops of Operation Hadin Kai Theatre Command have rescued two more girls abducted from Chibok Local Government Area, Borno State in April 2014.
The rescue comes nine years after Boko Haram terrorists stormed their school while they were writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
Respite came for the victims – Esther Marcus and Hauwa Malta, both of them 26 – as they were rescued by the troops at Lagara, a Boko Haram enclave in Sambisa Forest, on April 21, 2023.
With the latest rescue, the total number of girls now out of the terrorists’ captivity now stands at 125, including 107 released by the terrorists themselves in 2018, three rescued by troops in 2019, two in 2021, and 11 in 2022.
