]]> Nigerian soldiers interrogating captured Boko Haram suspects have found one of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by the insurgents nearly three years ago, along with her baby.

She’s been welcomed at the official residence of Borno state’s governor.

Boko Haram terrorists abducted 276 schoolgirls writing exams in Chibok in  April 2014.

Last May one girls escaped and the International Red Cross helped negotiate the release of 21 more last October.

Another girl was freed by the army raiding an extremist camp in the Sambisa Forest.

The latest girl freed is Rakiya Abubakar, who has a six-month-old  baby.

She was among more that 1 000 suspects detained in recent weeks in the Sambisa Forest and identified  by two freed schoolgirls.
