The rescued individuals include a Mother, Aisha Usman, along with her three daughters: Hauwa, Binta, and Amina.
Further investigations revealed that Aisha Usman was forcefully taken by Boko Haram in 2014 from her home in HANTSA village, Gulak district, Madagali LGA, Adamawa State. She was later married to one of the terrorists and had three children while in captivity at Njimiya camp in Sambisa Forest.
The rescued family has been placed in military custody for profiling and necessary actions.
