The Nigerian troops have rescued another Chibok girl, Mary Nkeki.

She was rescued on August 14 by troops of 81 Task Force Battalion of Operation Hadin Kai Theater Command.

She was rescued alongside her repentant insurgent husband identified as Adam during an offensive by the troops on the terrorists’ enclave.

The Theater Commander, Operation Hadin Kai, Maj. Gen. Gold Chibuisi, made the disclosure to newsmen on Monday, August 21.

Chibuisi said, “She is on serial number 55 of the abducted Chibok girl list. Now 27 years old. Kibaku by tribe.

“While in captivity, she was forcefully married to one Adam, a Boko Haram terrorist,”

Chibuisi handed her over to Borno State Government officials after addressing the press.

He further said, “Since her rescue, she has undergone thorough medical examination in our medical facility. Equally she has been adequately resuscitated and will be handed over to Borno state,”

Mary told newsmen shortly after she was handed over to the Borno State Ministry for Women Affairs officials that she gave birth to two female children for Adam, who are all deceased.

She said she and her husband, Adam, repented from insurgency and fled the terrorists enclave at the Dikwa axis, and reached a point where the troops rescued both of them.

However, since their rescue, she has been separated from Adam, who, it’s gathered, was taken to the repentant insurgents camp.

Mary is the 16th girl rescued by troops in recent months
