The Nigerian army says it has found two more of the female students abducted by Boko Haram militants from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, North east, Nigeria, over eight years ago.
It appears the two hostages gave birth while in captivity, as the army said they were both found with children.
One of the abductees was seen with a child, and the other with two children.
The authorities said the ”intercepted Chibok girls and their children” were in a military medical facility.
Other abductees have since been offered accommodation and rehabilitation by the Nigerian government following their freedom from Boko Haram.
The two women were found on Monday during military operations against extremists in north-eastern Nigeria.
In total, 276 girls abducted were from their school dormitory in the middle of the night on 14 April 2014. Within hours of their kidnapping, 57 managed to escape mostly by jumping off the trucks and running off into the bushes.
There was global outrage when the terrorists’ group abducted almost 300 girls from the school in 2014.
Most of the victims have either been freed or escaped since then, but some of them are still in captivity. BBC
