Part kidnapped girls back Nigeria

abuja - Some of the 110 girls who were kidnapped from a school in Nigerian Dapchi are back in their hometown. Witnesses report that the girls were probably brought back Wednesday by militants from terror group Boko Haram.

The girls disappeared late last month during a Boko Haram attack on Dapchi in the northeastern state of Yobe. It is not clear how many girls have returned in the meantime.

The disappearance of the students is one of the largest such incidents since the jihadist group kidnapped more than 270 schoolgirls from the city of Chibok in 2014.
