The Nigerian Army in a tweet on Wednesday said further investigation is ongoing.

The tweet read, “Troops of 26 Task Force Brigade on patrol around Ngoshe in Borno State on 14 June 2022 intercepted one Mrs Mary Ngoshe and her son. She is believed to be one of the abducted girls from GGSS Chibok in 2014. Further exploitation ongoing”.

Over 270 girls were abducted in Chibok, Borno State, and over 100 of them have since been freed or managed to escape. Those who were freed were done in exchange for other Boko Haram militants.

Mass kidnappings remain a problem in northern Nigeria.
