The 15 former hostages met with Borno Governor Babagana Zulum in the state's capital, Maiduguri.
Six women and nine children abducted by Nigeria's Boko Haram extremist rebels in the country’s troubled northeast have escaped after months in captivity, according to a Borno state official.
The 15 former hostages met with Borno Governor Babagana Zulum in the state's capital, Maiduguri.
“Today is one of our happiest moments for us to see these young girls and women that were abducted by the insurgents,” Mr. Zulum said Monday, attributing their freedom to "prayers and ongoing reconciliation and reintegration programs” in Borno state.
