Kidnapped Nigerian girl freed after seven years

One of the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram militants more than seven years ago is free and has been reunited with her family, a state governor’s office said.

Nearly 300 schoolgirls, most aged between 12 and 17, were abducted by Boko Haram in April 2014, from Chibok in northeast Nigeria.

The governor said the girl and someone she claimed to have married during her captivity surrendered themselves to the military.
