Nigeria’s army said none of the hundreds of women rescued from a stronghold of the Islamist group Boko Haram are those kidnapped from the northeastern village of Chibok last year.
“They are not the abducted Chibok secondary school girls,” Colonel Sani Usman, an army spokesman, said by phone on Wednesday from the capital, Abuja. The military is still processing those rescued and will inform the public of their identities in due course, he said.
