Freed Chibok Girls sent to rehabilitation centre

The Department of State Service (DSS) yesterday handed over the 82 rescued Chibok school girls to the Federal Government for rehabilitation at the Women Development Centre in Abuja.

The girls have joined the 24 others, who were earlier rescued in September last year.

Speaking to journalists yesterday, the Minister of Women Affairs, Senator Amina Alhassan said the girls were brought to the centre after they were certified healthy by medical personnel.

She said they would be joining the earlier rescued girls in their rehabilitation courses and would all graduate by September to enable them enrol into formal education.

She said they will not be enrolled in their former school (GSS Chibok) but in different school.

Journalists were taken round the facilities including classrooms, hostels and common room.
