82 CHIBOK GIRLS RE-UNITES WITHN FAMILY IN ABUJA

By Habiba Adamu 
The Nigerian authorities say they have started the long process of reuniting the recently released 82 Chibok girls with their families.


Nearly 300 young students were kidnapped by Islamist militants Boko Haram in 2014 from a school in Chibok, north-east Nigeria. Their abduction provoked a global social media campaign.

The 82 were freed on Saturday in exchange for five Boko Haram prisoners, following negotiations brokered by the ICRC.

But their identity needs to be confirmed.

Representatives of parents from Chibok are now travelling to the area with pictures of those who have been released.

Presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu told the BBC that at the end of the careful identification process, the families will then be taken to the capital Abuja to be reunited with their daughters.
