Two of the recently rescued Chibok girls, Hawa Joseph and Mary Dauda who were found by the Nigerian Army during the week have reunited at a military medical facility.
The girls, according to the Nigerian Army, were intercepted by frontline troops on 14 June 2022 after 8 years in captivity and were taken for medical evaluation.
Hawa and Mary were said to be friends at the GGSS Chibok prior to their abduction in 2014 and never met while in captivity.
On April 14, 2014, about 276 students of Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, were kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists.
The abduction caused a worldwide public outcry with many world leaders and notable global personalities, calling for the return of the girls.
Most vehement among them is the wife of the US President at that time, Michelle Obama.
Many of the students have regained their freedom, but about 100 are still believed to be in captivity.
