There was slight confusion when the Army initially
confirmed that they had indeed rescued one of the abducted Chibok school
girls, named Falmata Mbalala. This was contrary to reports that the
girl was actually Amina Ali. The Army have corrected the mistake and
released a more detailed statement. Read after the cut...
• Please recall that we informed you that one of the
abducted Chibok school girls has been rescued earlier today and promised
to give further details. Further to that, in continuation of Operation
CRACKDOWN, troops of 25 Brigade Damboa in conjunction with Civilian JTF
deployed in one of the blocking positions at Baale, near Damboa rescued
one Miss Amina Ali and a suspected Boko Haram terrorist, Mohammed
Hayatu, who claimed to be her husband. Both were brought to Headquarters
25 Task Force Brigade Damboa at about 2.30pm today.
Preliminary investigation shows that she is indeed one of
the abducted Chibok School girls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists on
14th April 2014 in Chibok and her name is Amina Ali as against Falmata
Mbalala that was earlier stated. In addition, she is a nursing mother
with a 4 month old baby girl who was named Safiya. Both the suspected
Boko Haram terrorist and the nursing mother have been taken to Maiduguri
for further medical attention and screening.
Thank you for your usual cooperation.
