The Commander, 26 Task Force Brigade, Brig-Gen. DR Dantani, presented the girl, Hassana Adamu, and her two children to Governor Babagana Zulum at the Government House in Maiduguri.

Governor Zulum had on August 8 received another student of the college, Ruth Ngladar Pogu, who presented herself to the military last month.

Boko Haram insurgents abducted over 200 students from the college on April 14, 2014.

Although more than 100 students had regained their freedom, several others are still in captivity seven years after the incident that sparked outrage across the world.
