soldiers belonging to a multi-national force set up to take on Boko
Haram. In a high-profile attack that sparked a global outcry, Boko
Haram militants raided the school in April 2014 while the girls were
taking exams. They loaded 270 of them onto trucks, though around 50
escaped shortly afterwards. "One of them indeed declared that she is
one of the Chibok hostages. She is around 15. We are now verifying,
because on the Nigerian side they have the names and photos of these
girls," said local government administrator Raymond Roksdo.

Two military sources, who asked not to be identified as they were not
authorised to speak to the press, also confirmed that the girl had
claimed to have been one of the Chibok abductees. "We need a few days
to be able to confirm this information. We have to debrief all the men
who were present and interrogate the two girls before we can say
anything," one of the military sources said.
