Troops of the Nigerian Army have rescued one of the Chibok schoolgirl abducted by Boko Haram insurgents in 2014.
It would be recalled that Boko Haram terrorists had in April 2014 kidnapped 276 female students mostly Christians aged from 16 to 18 from the Government Girls Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State.
The girl, identified as Yana Pogu, was rescued on Thursday in Borno by the troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation Hadin Kai.
Pogu, who was rescued with her four children was said to have given birth to a set of twins four months ago.
Speaking on the recent development, on Saturday, Zagazola, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region, said her twins were in an unhealthy condition when she was rescued.

The rescue, according to reports was made possible by troops of the Nigerian Army, backed by a column of the Civilian Joint Task Force(CJTF) when they stormed the enclave of Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād, a terrorist group in Bama LGA, Borno.
According to intelligence sources, the troops engaged and overwhelmed the insurgents, neutralising scores of terrorists in the process, while several others escaped with fatal gunshot wounds.
“In the course of the encounter, troops successfully rescued Yana Pogu, a Chibok girl who was number 19 on the missing girl’s list along with her four children,” the source said.
“She was found with a four-month-old set of twins in a very unhealthy condition.
“Some of the fleeing insurgents also attempted to ambush their own troops but while acting on the intelligence, the troops responded swiftly with aggressive fire powers, forcing them to flee.
“More women were rescued after the encounter. They are transferred to 21 Armoured Brigade Bama, for medical attention.
Over 200 students were kidnapped by insurgents from the Government Girls’ Secondary School (GGSS) in the Chibok area of Borno state, on April 14, 2014.
