More schoolgirls from the northeast Nigerian town of Chibok will be rescued soon, after a student who was kidnapped in a mass abduction by Boko Haram was rescued this week, Borno state Governor Kashim Shettima said.

Meanwhile, the Borno Elders Forum has said God has vindicated them after the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan closed its eyes when they were crying over their missing daughters.     

Spokesman of the forum, Dr Bulama Mali Gubio, who spoke to Dailytrust  on phone, said “When we said these girls were in the Sambisa forest, some people in the previous government scolded us, saying we should go and rescue them. We are pleased that two of them have been found which clearly shows that the rest are still alive.”
