It comes as two Chibok girls have reportedly been released – one of whom called Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki who was found near Sambisa forest and believed to have been freed as a 'gesture of good faith' by the militants.
However, there was confusion mounting over whether the second girl who was freed in a raid on a Boko Haram camp on 19 May, was from Chibok. Yakubu Nkeke told The Times:
