Boko Haram on Wednesday morning returned all the recently abducted school girls in the town of Dapchi in Nigeria’s Yobe State.
One hundred and ten schoolgirls were abducted by the group in February this year in an attack similar to what occurred in 2014 in neighbouring Borno State.
Daily Times gathered that five of the girls may have died while in custody of the insurgents.
According to our source, Boko Haram militants returned the girls in nine vehicles, a similar fashion to how they were taken away.
