The Federal Government of Nigeria has confirmed the release of 104 Dapchi girls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists.

Although 5 girls were reported dead, the Federal Government is yet to confirm the news.

The whereabouts of the 1 girl left has also not been confirmed by the Federal Government.

On Twitter, the Federal Government reiterated that no ransom was paid for the release of the girls.

Two additional children, a boy and girl, were also returned along with the Dapchi girls, although it is unclear when the 2 kids were abducted.

All of the returned children have been airlifted to Abuja, the federal Government said.

Minister of Information Lai Mohammed in a video also shared why the girls were released without ransom.
