The Nigerian Army has said that the rescued Chibok school girl, Amina Ali, was airlifted by Nigeria Air Force Super Puma aircraft from Damboa to Maiduguri alongside her baby and supposed husband, Mohammed Hayatu who is a suspected Boko Haram terrorist.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Acting Direct Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman.

According to the statement, Amina and Mohammed were examined at the Air Force medical facility and were found to be stable and normal blood pressure was observed.

Thereafter, she was released to the Operation LAFIYA DOLE headquarters for further investigation and handing over.

After preliminary investigation, the rescued girl and her baby was handed over to Borno State Governor, His Excellency, Honourable Kashim Shetima, at Government house, Maiduguri Wednesday evening by the Acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division, Brigadier General Victor Ezugwu in a brief ceremony.

It is believed that she will be taken to Abuja on Friday along with her parents to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Meanwhile, the supposed husband is undergoing further investigation at Joint Intelligence Centre. The statement also noted that Mohammed Hayatu is well treated in line with Operation LAFIYA DOLE Rules of Engagement regarding insurgents who voluntarily surrender to the military.
