Boko Haram militants handed over 21
missing Chibok schoolgirls to Nigerian officials Thursday morning as part of a
deal brokered by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Swiss
government, Nigeria's government said.
The girls are being taken to the
northeastern city of Maiduguri, where they will meet with the governor of Borno
state, officials in the state said. The girls were not immediately named.
The 21 are said to be among the 276
girls that Boko Haram militants herded from bed in the middle of the night at a
school in northern Nigeria in April 2014 -- a kidnapping that spurred global
outrage.
