Six years after hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls were kidnapped, Boko Haram continues to wage attacks on rural areas in the northwestern and northeastern regions of Nigeria.
Soldiers recently found another Chibok schoolgirl kidnapped by Boko Haram after the girl was taken by the insurgents nearly three years ago. The Nigerian military said the girl was found with her six-month-old baby.
Activists have identified the victim as Amina ali Darsha Nkeki, the report states. She is the first of the girls rescued from the 2014 mass kidnapping that sparked the hashtag and search movement #BringBackOurGirls.
