Relatives of missing Nigerian schoolgirls have expressed their excitement over the rescue of one of the missing Chibok girls. Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki is the first of more than 200 schoolgirls seized in a raid on their school in Chibok town by Boko Haram militants to have been rescued. She is due to meet Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari.

Sahara Reporters has it that rescued Chibok girl, Amina Ali HIV test results came back negative.

During the 2014 attack, the gunmen arrived in Chibok late at night, then raided the school dormitories and loaded 276 girls on to trucks.

Some managed to escape within hours, mostly by jumping off the lorries and running off into roadside bushes.

In total, 219 girls remained missing before this latest news.

A video broadcast by CNN in April this year appeared to show some of the kidnapped schoolgirls alive.

Fifteen girls in black robes were pictured. They said they were being treated well but wanted to be with their families.

The video was allegedly shot on Christmas Day 2015 and some of the girls were identified by their parents.

The Chibok schoolgirls, many of whom are Christian, had previously not been seen since May 2014, when Boko Haram released a video of about 130 of them gathered together reciting the Koran.
