The recently released 82 Chibok girls are currently undergoing series of medical checkup in Aso Rock, Abuja. The girls are being observed at the Department of State Services (DSS) clinic where they also met with Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the president.

They arrived in Abuja earlier in the day from Maiduguri in military choppers.

Kyari told Channels TV that the president is “extremely pleased and glad” over their release.

“Since the first set of girls were released last year, he gave instructions to all security agencies to leave no stone unturned until all the girls are released,” he said.

He said the president will meet with the girls later in the day.
