Nigeria’s First Lady Aisha Buhari has vowed government’s support for the recently released Chibok girls, in rebuilding their lives.
The First Lady met with the 82 freed schoolgirls who were among 270 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram three years ago. Some of the girls still want to return to school. The government secured the girls’ release on Saturday with mediation by the International Committee of the Red Cross. A military source said three Boko Haram commanders had been freed in an exchange, but declined to give further details.
Authorities are now stepping up efforts to help the girls.
