In May 2016, President Muhammadu Buhari celebrated the escape of Amina Ali, the first Chibok girl to flee from the custody of her abductors deep inside Sambisa forest.

She came with first-hand information about the Chibok girls in captivity who were thought by many to have died or sold across the Sahara. In November 2016, the second girl, Maryam Ali Mayanga, escaped with her Boko Haram husband and their baby boy, Ali, from the heart of Sambisa Forest to a military base in Fulka, on the fringes of the forest.

However, after the escape of a few and the release of over 100 through negotiations over time, most of the over 107 of the Chibok girls that have been reunited with their families are still struggling to be on their feet.
