Another schoolgirl kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014 was released Thursday, two days after Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki was found by vigilante militant group 
 
 A second schoolgirl kidnapped by Boko Haram from the north-eastern Nigerian town of Chibok in 2014 has been freed, according to the Nigerian military. 
 
 An army spokesman said that Serah Luka had been “rescued” on Thursday morning, along with 96 other women and children held captive by Boko Haram. The spokesman, Sani Kukasheka Usman, said that 35 Boko Haram fighters had also been killed in “clearance operations”. 
 
 If the claim is true, she would be the second of the Chibok girls to escape a Boko Haram camp in Sambisa forest in the past two days. 
 
 “She is believed to be the daughter of Pastor Luka,” Usman said in a statement. “During debriefing the girl revealed that she was a student of the [Chibok] school at the time they were abducted. She further added that she hails from Madagali, Adamawa State.” The statement said the girl had only joined the school just over two months before her abduction. 
 
 Luka is currently receiving medical treatment in Borno state where she was found, the spokesman said. 
 
 The first girl to escape, Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki, met President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday. She had been found by members of a vigilante group on Tuesday on the edge of a Boko Haram stronghold after fleeing during an attack on the militants’ camp. 
 
 On Thursday she was flown to Abuja in the presidential jet to meet Buhari. In a press conference at the presidential villa while waiting for the president to arrive, Nkeki first hid her face from the cameras, then greeted Buhari and handed him her four-month-old baby girl, born in captivity. 
 
 The president pledged to continue the search for the remaining Chibok girls who have not been recovered – who number more than 200 – and to fund Nkeki’s education, in a statement released after the meeting. 
 
 
 
 “Like all Nigerians and many others around the world, I am delighted at the news that Amina Ali Nkeki, one of the missing Chibok girls, has regained her freedom,” Buhari said. “But my feelings are tinged with deep sadness at the horrors the young girl has had to go through at such an early stage in her life.” 
 
 He promised Nkeki “the best care” that the Nigerian government could afford. “We will ensure that she gets the best medical, psychological, emotional and whatever other care she requires to make a full recovery and be reintegrated fully into society,” he said. 
 
 “Amina must be enabled to go back to school. No girl in Nigeria should be put through the brutality of forced marriage. Every girl has the right to an education and a life choice.” 
 
 Buhari said that Nkeki offered his government “a unique opportunity for vital information” that could lead to the release of the rest of the Chibok girls, though he said nothing of the estimated 2,000 other women and girls that have been captured by Boko Haram. 
 
 Nkeki’s brother, Inua Ali, who was also at the meeting, confirmed to the Guardian that the president had pledged to look after Nkeki and her family. “We saw and met with the president today,” he said. “He promised to cater for my sister, her daughter and my mother. He promised to put my sister back in school.” 
 
 
 
 In her first two days of freedom, Nkeki has met dozens of Nigerian dignitaries. 
 
 After being briefly allowed home so that her family could identify her, she was airlifted to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state. She and her baby had medical checks and met trauma specialists before being flown to Abuja.

 Nkeki’s age is not known – her brother said she was born in 1995, but according to other reports she was 17 when she was abducted and is now 19. 
 
 
 
 In what commentators called a “desperate bid to claim credit” for the escape of the first of the Chibok girls since the messy aftermath of the 2014 abductions, the Nigerian army on Wednesday said it had rescued a girl it identified as Falmata Mbalala. 
 
 It later admitted that her name was actually Amina Ali and said its troops had rescued her in conjunction with Civilian JTF, the local vigilante force that arms itself with muskets and catapults. 
 
 Abdul Amin Mahmud, a Nigerian commentator and lawyer, criticised the government for attempting to claim credit and for parading her at the press conference. 
 
 “She was roughly handled by the Nigerian army, and she’s a young girl who’s been in captivity for two years,” he said. “The girl is not a trophy. She’s not the elephant man to be paraded at a circus. She has gone through real psychological trauma. She needs care. They transferred her to the governor’s house and to Abuja to meet the president – for what? 
 
 “The issue of the missing Chibok girls has become a political issue. The previous government did nothing, so if the current government can rescue one, it’s seen as a political victory. I worry about the future of these young girls.” 
 
 In contrast to the government’s claims of rescue, Nkeki’s brother said she had been found trying to hide from the vigilantes after running away from the Boko Haram camp. He said she had been brought back to her family home for a tearful reunion with her elderly, widowed mother, Binta Ali. Onlookers said that Ali shouted “Amina! Amina!” when she saw her, and that they nearly fell over as they hugged each other. 
 
 
 
 According to activists, Nkeki said the rest of the Chibok girls were in the forest except for six, apparently killed in the same attack she had tried to escape. It is unclear who launched the attack on the Boko Haram camp; the army did not claim responsibility for it. 
 
 When she was found, Nkeki was with a man who claimed to be her husband, Mohammed Hayatu, whom the army suspect is a Boko Haram fighter. Hayatu was not at the presidential villa but was being investigated, according to Usman. 
 
 “It should be noted that Mohammed Hayatu is well treated in line with Operation Lafiya Dole’s rules of engagement regarding insurgents who voluntarily surrender to the military,” he said. 
 
 
 
 Given Buhari’s claim in December that Boko Haram had “technically” been defeated because it was reduced to suicide missions and controlled no territory, Nkeki’s escape raises questions about the location of her fellow kidnapping victims and the thousands of others taken by Boko Haram. 
 
 Yakub Bulus, the father of another of the Chibok girls, said that the news brought him joy and hope that his daughter would be found. 
 
 “At least one of them has been found now, hopefully she will reveal where the others are, and with God they will all be found. My hope to see my daughter again has been strengthened,” he said. ||||| Image copyright AFP Image caption The girl was in a lower year than those abducted from the school 
 
 The Nigerian army says it has freed 97 women and girls from Boko Haram, including one of the more than 200 girls abducted from Chibok school. 
 
 However, Chibok campaigners say that while the girl in question was a pupil at the school, she was actually kidnapped from her home elsewhere. 
 
 This comes days after the first of the Chibok girls was freed. 
 
 The Islamist militant group has seized thousands of women and girls in northern Nigeria, rights groups say. 
 
 But it was the abduction of the girls from Chibok that gained international attention through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, which was supported by US First Lady Michelle Obama and Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai. 
 
 The army has made several mistakes in its statements about the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after the first girl was found on Wednesday, it used the wrong name. 
 
 It has claimed to have freed more than 100 of them before later backtracking. 
 
 In all, 218 girls remain missing since they were seized from Chibok secondary school in Borno state, north-eastern Nigeria, in April 2014. 
 
 The girl rescued earlier this week told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died but the rest were still in the Sambisa forest where she was found.

 It would have been ideal for the Nigerian army to rescue two of the Chibok girls in three days - only it did not happen, despite the speed and enthusiasm with which the press statements were sent out. 
 
 The military has been trying to win over the public following heavy criticism it has received for its inability to bring back the schoolgirls. Such has been its focus that it has not capitalised on the work of its troops in rescuing thousands of Boko Haram captives. 
 
 In fact, army records show it freed 11,595 people between February and April this year. That has barely been publicised - although the abductions of those people also did not make headlines, unlike the schoolgirls whose disappearance raised concern around the world. 
 
 As important as the Chibok girls are, it appears their fate is being used as a measure of success in the fight against Boko Haram. 
 
 In a statement, army spokesman Col Sani Usman said the 97 women and girls had been found on Thursday in the Demboa area of Borno, during an operation in which 35 militants were killed. 
 
 "Among those rescued is a girl believed to be one of the Chibok Government Secondary School girls that were abducted on 14 April 2014," he said.

 However, the BringBackOurGirls group said it had established that the rescued girl had been abducted from her home in Madagali, in neighbouring Adamawa state. 
 
 Earlier on Thursday, the first Chibok girl found was flown to the capital Abuja to meet President Muhammadu Buhari. 
 
 Mr Buhari said he was delighted she was back and vowed to help her resume her education. 
 
 "But my feelings are tinged with deep sadness at the horrors the young girl has had to go through at such an early stage in her life," he added.

 She was found by an army-backed vigilante group in the huge Sambisa Forest, close to the border with Cameroon, along with her four-month-old baby. 
 
 She was with a suspected member of Boko Haram who claimed to be her husband.

 Who are Boko Haram? ||||| (CNN) A girl rescued by Nigerian troops from Boko Haram militants does not appear to be one of the girls abducted in 2014 from a school in the town of Chibok, as was initially reported, an activist said Friday. 
 
 Serah Luka, who was rescued Thursday, did attend the school, but wasn't abducted at the same time as the 276 taken from the school on April 14, 2014, according to Bukky Shonibare of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. 
 
 "However, the same way we rejoice over the return of the Chibok girl, so also is our joy over this one," Shonibare said. 
 
 A Nigerian army officer said Thursday that Luka was part of the mass abduction. On Friday, Army Brig. General Abubakar Rabe declined to address whether Luka was part of that abduction. 
 
 "We shouldn't focus on whether she is one of the Chibok girls or not," Rabe said. "The important thing is that we are pursuing Boko Haram and rescuing human beings on a daily basis. We should be allowed to be concentrate on rescuing other people in our operations." 
 
 The girl was one of 97 women and children were freed during Thursday's operation, according to Col. Sani Usman. At least 35 Boko Haram fighters were killed. 
 
 Serah Luka was taken to a hospital after her rescue. 
 
 Initially Usman said Luka -- the daughter of a pastor -- had started at the boarding school in Chibok a little more than two months before the Boko Haram raid. 
 
 Activists and residents of Chibok disputed the claim and asked for more verification, saying Luka's name was not on the list of those missing. 
 
 Thursday's news came the same day another kidnap victim, Amina Ali Nkeki, met with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja on Thursday. 
 
 She had been found two days before in northeastern Nigeria after apparently escaping from the terror group. 
 
 During the emotional meeting, Buhari held the baby Amina gave birth to while a captive of the terror group. 
 
 "Like all Nigerians and many others around the world, I am delighted that Amina Ali is free, but it is tinged with deep sorrow with what she had to go through," Buhari said. 
 
 Amina was accompanied by her family and Borno State Gov. Kashim Shettima, whose residence she had visited the previous night. 
 
 Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari hold Amina Ali's baby. 
 
 Shettima had treated Amina, who was limping and severely malnourished when she arrived with her baby at his home, like a "VIP guest," a state government official told CNN. 
 
 "She is receiving high-level medical attention and the best doctors in the state are attending to her. The governor ordered for her release from the military as he wanted to make sure she and her baby daughter received urgent medical and psychological attention," he said. 
 
 Separated from 'husband' 
 
 Amina Ali after escaping the clutches of Boko Haram. 
 
 Amina was the first of the so-called Chibok girls to escape since the 276 schoolgirls were kidnapped at gunpoint from their boarding school in northeast Nigeria. 
 
 As many as 57 girls were able to escape almost immediately, but more than 200 have remained missing since then. 
 
 When Amina escaped, she was accompanied by a young man who said he was her husband and the father of her baby. He said he had been kidnapped by Boko Haram and taken to their forest stronghold, where he married Amina. 
 
 But a government official told CNN that Amina had been "completely detached" from the man, who remains in military detention and is being interrogated. 
 
 Bittersweet reunion 
 
 Amina was briefly reunited with her mother on Tuesday night at the family home in Mbalala before being held by the army, CNN learned. 
 
 A neighbor who witnessed the emotional meeting told CNN that her mother, Binta Ali, was very distressed when she first saw her daughter.

 "The mom was very disturbed," said the neighbor, who did not want to be named. 
 
 "She was full of happiness but at the same time seeing the situation of her daughter, who is a Christian, with a baby and a Boko Haram husband and wearing a hijab, she was just crying bitterly," said the neighbor. 
 
 "Even Amina was comforting her mother saying she should be happy to see her alive. She was very happy to see her but she was also very sad."

 Conflicting accounts 
 
 It is still unclear how Amina escaped from the clutches of Boko Haram, but the government official said it was likely as a result of the sustained military campaign in the Sambisa Forest. The dense forest in Nigeria's northeast is believed to be the terrorist group's stronghold, and has long been the suspected location of the missing girls.

 "The governor has ordered that no one should ask her any questions for now but it's likely that she may have taken her chance to escape based on a military attack carried out in the Sambisa Forest," the official said. "I believe more Chibok girls could have escaped and could still be in the Sambisa." 
 
 On Wednesday, a member of a civilian vigilante group set up to help fight Boko Haram told CNN he had been on a nightly patrol on the edge of Sambisa Forest on Tuesday night when when the girl and some companions wandered out around 7 p.m. 
 
 He recognized her as one of the missing schoolgirls, although she looked different and was in poor physical condition, as were the baby and man with her. 
 
 Nigeria's government has said the girl was rescued by government troops that were working with the civilian force. Operations to find the missing girls have intensified recently with a deep push into Sambisa Forest, a military spokesman told CNN's Nima Elbagir. 
 
 Campaign of terror 
 
 The girls' kidnapping sparked global outrage, including the #BringBackOurGirls campaign on social media.

 But Nigeria's government has so far proven largely powerless to recover the girls. 
 
 Last month, CNN obtained a video of some of the missing Chibok girls that had been sent to negotiators by their captors as "proof of life," and showed it to some of the girls' mothers, who had not been shown the footage by officials. 
 
 Boko Haram, based mainly in Nigeria's northern states but responsible also for attacks in neighboring countries, is seeking to implement sharia law. According to a report released in November, the Global Terrorism Index, Boko Haram was the world's deadliest terrorist group in 2014, responsible for 6,644 deaths, compared with ISIS, which was responsible for 6,073. 
 
 Besides the spate of kidnappings, the group has also pursued a ruthless campaign of bombing marketplaces throughout Nigeria and neighboring countries.
– The families of hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram two years ago have been given fresh hope by what the Nigerian military says is another rescue. A military spokesman says that "Miss Serah Luka, who is number 157 on the list of the abducted schoolgirls," was among 97 women and children rescued in a raid that killed at least 35 militants, reports the BBC, although a spokesman for the families of the girls kidnapped in the town of Chibok denies that she is on the list. The military says Luka, a pastor's daughter who joined the Chibok school just two months before the mass kidnapping, is receiving medical treatment, the Guardian reports. On Tuesday, the military announced that it had rescued missing schoolgirl Amina Ali Nkeki from the militants. Since then, she has met with President Muhammadu Buhari and so many other dignitaries that critics are accusing the government of putting a traumatized girl on parade in an effort to score political points. Nkeki was found by vigilantes in the Sambisa Forest after she ran away from a Boko Haram camp with a 4-month-old baby and a man she said was her husband. But while she was meeting the president, the husband was being interrogated as a suspected Boko Haram fighter, CNN reports. Some 217 schoolgirls are still missing, and Nkeki has reportedly said that they are all still in forest camps, apart from six killed in a recent attack.
