“Authorities in Nigeria’s northeast Borno state denied on Thursday a statement by the armed forces which had said most of the more than 100 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist rebels from a local school had been freed in a military rescue operation. ‘As I am talking to you now (Thursday), only 14 of the students have returned,’ an aide to Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima told Reuters, asking not to be named.”
