One of the over 200 girls abducted by terrorist group, Boko Haram, from the Chibok Girls Secondary School in Borno state in April 2014 may have been found and identified.
The Chibok girl, presumably, was rescued by members of the Civilian JTF, a paramilitary force that assists the military in the fight against insurgency in the north-east.
Former education minister and one of the leaders of advocacy group, BringBackOurGirls, Mrs Obiageli Ezekwesili wrote on her Twitter page on Wednesday morning that the chairman of the Chibok community in Abuja confirmed the return of the kidnapped girl.
The Chairman of #ChibokCommunity -Abuja @tsambido has just confirmed the incredible news I got about ONE Of OUR #ChibokGirls . #CivilianJTF

While the former minister did not exactly state how the girl was found and identified, her repeated inclusion of the tag, #CivilianJTF in her tweets, suggests the rescue was done by the paramilitary force.
