Nigerian girls reunited with families after Boko Haram kidnapping
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe schoolgirls kidnapped by the Boko Haram jihadist group in Dapchi, northeastern Nigeria, are reunited with their families on Sunday after spending nearly five weeks in captivity.
The 105 girls, covered head to toe in burkas, arrive aboard five buses in the town of Dapchi, in Yobe state, where they are greeted by their parents at the boarding school, where they had been snatched on February 19.
After their release on Wednesday, they spent three days in the national capital Abuja, where they were greeted by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Kachalla Bukar, the father of one of the girls who is spokesman for the parents, says they were flown to the major northern city of Maiduguri from Abuja, then transferred under military escort to Dapchi.
