“The moment this girl was discovered by our vigilantes, she was brought to my house. I instantly recognised her, and insisted we should take her to her parents.
“When we arrived at the house… I asked the mother to come and identify someone. The moment she saw her, she shouted her name: ‘Amina, Amina!’ She gave her the biggest hug ever, as if they were going to roll on the ground, we had to stabilize them.
“The mother called the attention of other relations to come out and see what is happening. The girl started comforting the mother, saying: ‘Please Mum, take it easy, relax. I never thought I would ever see you again, wipe your tears. God has made it possible for us to see each other again.’
Amina is currently in Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria’s Borno State. The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 7 Division Nigerian Army, Brig. Gen. Victor Ezugwu, who brought her to Shettima announced that the young girl will be taken to President Mohammadu Buhari to present her to the Nigerians.
