According to Vice
President Osinbajo, the girls are currently receiving medical care at a DSS
facility located near the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, as one
of the girls was carrying a child. The Vice president said this in an interview
with State House reporters after visiting with the freed girls at the medical
centre of the DSS located at the Airport Road, Abuja. The vice president also
confirmed that the 21 freed girls were in good health, but that they were being
taken care of in the medical facility of the DSS. He stated that the girls
would stay at the medical centre for some time until the government was
satisfied that they were okay health-wise, adding that the girls’ parents would
be coming to join them on Friday, October 14. On April 14, 2014, over 260 girls
were abducted from their hostels at Government Secondary School, Chibok in
Borno state. But more than 50 managed to escape on the day they were captured.
One of the abducted girls, Aminat Ali Nkeki was rescued in May 2016 during a
raid on Sambisa forest by the military.
