AKIPRESS.COM - A second girl from the group of 276 schoolgirls kidnapped more than two years ago in Nigeria was rescued Thursday, an army spokesman told NBC News.

The news came just a day after another teen from the group abducted by Boko Haram from the Nigerian town of Chibok was recovered by pro-government forces.

The girls' April 2014 mass kidnapping sparked international outrage, inspired the viral campaign #BringBackOurGirls, and led to increased military assistance to from the United States and other nations in the fight against Boko Haram, an Islamic fundamentalist militia.

While some of the children managed to escape in the early days, most of the kidnapped girls were never found, deepening the community's grief and despair.

On Wednesday, however, the Nigerian Army confirmed that 19-year-old Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki — and a 4-month-old baby — had been rescued on the edge of Nigeria's Sambisa Forest, a Boko Haram hideout.
