Chibok girls: First kidnapped girl 'found in Nigeria'

Activists say one of the missing Chibok girls has been found in Nigeria - the first since they were taken by Boko Haram militants two years ago.

The 276 girls were taken from their secondary school in north-east Nigeria in April 2014.

The BBC is reporting that the girl was found by a vigilante group the Sambisa Forest, close to the border with Cameroon.

She was identified by a civilian fighter who recognised her.
