Good News as girls were released!

Bring Back Our Girls campaigners celebrate the release of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls an Abuja, Nigeria
From the Guardian report: 'Amazing joy' as Chibok schoolgirl is reunited with family in Nigeria

The negotiator, a lawyer who had once acted for Mohammed Yosef founder of Boko Haram, was able to pick up the girls who had been released yesterday and it was expected that the remaining girls would be released later that day.

Nkeki, Vice Chair person of the Chibok parents group was a Primary School Teacher at a nearby school. A number of Boko Haram members were released in exchange for the school girls. There was so much excitement as the girls were released. They went to the Red Cross where they were inspected for their well being. Having followed this story since the girls were kidnapped 2 years ago, I feel such relief that for some the ordeal is over.
