The Nigerian army has regained control of Chibok, the northeastern town where more than 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped by extremists more than six months ago, said army officials. The army wrested back control of Chibok from the militants of Boko Haram on Saturday, Nigerian army spokesman Brigadier General Olajide Olaleye told the Associated Press. "Chibok is firmly in the hands of the Nigerian army." Olaleye told the AP. "Chibok is free. Secured." He encouraged Chibok residents to return to their homes.
