The first of 219 girls kidnapped by the Islamist terror group Boko Haram in 2014 has been found alive, the Nigerian army has said.
"This is to confirm that one of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls ... was among rescued persons by our troops," army spokesman Colonel Sani Usman said in a statement.
Activists named her as Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki. They quoted her saying that her schoolmates were still in the Sambisa forest, Boko Haram's biggest stronghold.
