Amina Ali Nkeki, age 19 is the first to be rescued among the 219 missing Chibok girls that were abducted by the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram from a secondary school in the town of Chibok in April 2014.

She was found by an army supported vigilante group with a baby on Tuesday May 17, 2016 around the dense forest of Sambisa near the Cameroon border.

Rescued Chibok Girl meets
with Nigerian President Buhari

Amina was flown with her four month old baby, by the Nigerian Air Force to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state on Wednesday and later flown to Abuja to meet with Nigerian President Buhari. The President expressed delight that she was back and could resume her education.

It will be recalled that immediately after the Chibok girls were abducted in 2014, about 57 of the girls successfully escaped, but 219 of them have remained missing for the last two years. Amina was found with a young man who indicated he was her husband and her baby’s father. He stated that he too was kidnapped by Boko Haram.

He allegedly met and married Amina while in the Sambisa forest stronghold of the militants. The Nigerian army has completely separated him from Amina and her baby and he remains in military custody undergoing intense interrogation.
