Two girls identified to be among the remaining 98 Chibok school girls have escaped from their captors in the Sambisa Forest in Borno State.
Sources who spoke with Daily Trust said that the escape was a result of intense military operations in the forest.
Meanwhile, following probes, a security source identified the escapees as Hauwa Mutah and Esther Markus.
The source said, “One is from Chibok and the other one from Dzilang village,” he said.
This has reduced the number of Chibok schoolgirls in captivity from 98 to 96.
Recall that 276 Chibok School Girls were abducted in 2014. Since then, the federal government has secured the release of some, while 98 remained in captivity with claims that most of them have already been killed.
