LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — A relative says Nigerian soldiers have found one of the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram from a boarding school in Chibok town more than two years ago.

YaKubu Nkeki says his niece Amina Ali Nkeki was found wandering in the forest Tuesday. He says the 19-year-old is "fine. She's pregnant but suffering a trauma problem."

He says the young woman was brought to Chibok Tuesday night and reunited with her mother, but her father died while she was held captive.

She is the first of the 219 so-called Chibok girls to be freed since the mass abduction that grabbed worldwide attention.

Community leader Pogu Bitrus says other Chibok girls may also have been rescued by soldiers hunting down Boko Haram in the remote northeastern Sambisa Forest on Tuesday night.
