BEVERLY HILLS, March 21, (THEWILL) –
Seventy-six out of the 110 abducted Dapchi schoolgirls were released, Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, has corrected the earlier figure quoted.
Earlier reports had stated that 105 of the girls were released by Boko Haram on Wednesday morning while five of them died.
The release of the girls came barely a few days after Defence Minister Dan Alli promised that the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls would be rescued.
They were abducted by a faction of Boko Haram fighters at the Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe state on February 19.
