Second Chibok girl found with 97 other hostages

The Nigerian military say they have freed nearly 100 women and girls held by Boko Haram militants during a clearance operation in Borno State in the north of the country. The hostages include one of the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped from Chibok School in 2014. She's the second Chibok girl to be rescued this week. Newsday's Julian Keane spoke to Colonel Sani Usman Kukasheka, spokesman for the Nigerian Army.
