The Federal Government has confirmed that Mariam Mohammed Isa who was rescued on Wednesday by troops is not one of the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014.

Isa was thought to have been one of the 276 girls kidnapped by the sect.

The government has however clarified that Isa was a JSS 1 student kidnapped from Chibok but not one of the 276 girls.

“UPDATE/CORRECTION: Mariam Mohammed Isa is a 15-year-old JSS1 student kidnapped from #Chibok in 2014—but is not one of the 219 girls,” it said.
