Another Chibok girl, Mary Nkeki, 27, has been rescued by the Nigerian Army troops of Operation Hadin Kai Theater Command.

"She is on serial number 55 of the abducted Chibok girl list
Now 27 years old Kibaku by tribe," the Theatre Commander, Operation Hadin Kai, Maj. Gen. Gold Chibuisi told newsmen on Monday, August 21.
"While in captivity, she was forcefully married to one Adam, a Boko Haram terrorist," Gen. Chibuisi disclosed before handing her over to Borno State Government officials.
"Since her rescue, she has undergone thorough medical examination in our medical facility.
Equally, she has been adequately resuscitated and will be handed over to Borno state," he said.
Mary told newsmen shortly after she was handed over to the Borno State Ministry for Women Affairs officials that she gave birth to two female children for Adam, who are all deceased.
She said she and her husband, Adam, repented from insurgency and fled the terrorists enclave at the Dikwa axis, and reached a point where the troops rescued both of them.
