Another Chibok girl identified as Ehi Abdul, aged 27, has been rescued by the joint task force in the Northeast, Operation Hadin Kai from the infamous Sambisa Forest in Borno State.

The Theatre Commander, Major General Waheed Shuaibu, announced this during a formal handover ceremony at the Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri on Monday.

The rescued Ehi Abdul was one of the schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram militants from Chibok in 2014.

Ehi was found alongside her two children during a recent operation conducted by sector one of Operation Hadin Kai in the dense Sambisa Forest.

According to Major General Shuaibu, Ehi was married to a notorious terrorist known as Abu Dada, who abandoned her in Gwoza in 2014 and subsequently fled to Senegal.

The successful rescue operation is part of the ongoing efforts by the Nigerian military to reclaim and secure territories held by terrorist groups and to rescue those held captive.

Ehi and her children have been handed over to the Borno State Government for rehabilitation and5th reintegration.

This rescue adds to the growing number of Chibok girls who have been found and returned to their families since the mass abduction over nine years ago.

The Borno State Government, led by Governor Babagana Zulum, has reiterated its commitment to supporting the rescued individuals and ensuring they receive the necessary care and assistance to reintegrate into society.
