The 19-year-old Chibok school girl rescued from Sambisa forest on Wednesday will meet with President Buhari on Thursday.
Amina Ali, who was found by the Civilian JTF with a four month old
baby, will be accompanied to the Presidential Villa by the Borno State
Governor, Kashim Shettima.
She was handed over to Governor Kashim Shetima, at Government House, Maiduguri, the state capital on Wednesday evening by the Acting General Officer Commanding, 7 Division, Brigadier General Victor Ezugwu in a brief ceremony.
Amina Ali was airlifted by Nigeria Air Force Super Puma aircraft from Damboa to Maiduguri alongside her baby and supposed husband, Mohammed Hayatu.
Prior to that, they were examined at Air Force medical facility and were found to be stable and normal blood pressure was observed.
19-year-old Amina is the first of the missing Nigerian schoolgirls to be rescued since 219 of them were abducted from a secondary school in Chibok, Borno State, North East Nigeria in 2014.
They were taken by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram.
Secretary of the Association Of Parents of the Abducted Chibok Girls, Zanna usman, confirmed that Amina told her rescuers that six of her colleagues died in Boko Haram’s captivity.
Meanwhile, Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman says the supposed husband is undergoing further investigation at Joint Intelligence Centre.
“Mohammed Hayatu is well treated in line with Operation Lafiya Dole Rules of Engagement regarding insurgents who voluntarily surrender to the military,” the Army spokesman stated.
