A state governor's office in Nigeria says one of the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram militants more than seven years ago is free and has been reunited with her family.
Nearly 300 schoolgirls, most aged between 12 and 17, were abducted by Boko Haram in April 2014 from Chibok in northeast Nigeria, sparking an international outcry and the #BringBackOurGirls campaign for their release.
Over the years, many of the girls were released or found by the military, but more than 100 are still missing, according to Amnesty International.
Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum in a statement over the weekend says Ruth Ngladar Pogu escaped in July along with a person she said she had married.
The governor says she had surrendered to the military on July 28. But officials had not announced the development earlier to give them time to contact her parents and other Chibok families.
A member of the #BringBackOurGirls Movement and a resident of Chibok Community, Allen Manasseh, has been speaking to WADR about the return of Ruth Ngladar Pogu.
