could be from the school. in general this rescue is a huge morale boost for the nigerian forces, and for many people they are hoping the fact that these individuals have been rescued could possibly lead to other individuals who have been kidnapped, being repatriated to their homes, and many are hoping that this is a signal that the last boko haram strong hold which is the forest is about to be taken back under the control of the nigerian military. the founder of the bring back our girls campaign says she is obviously delighted so many girls have been freed from boko haram, but their rescue raises more questions. >> something that this particular rescue drew up for us is when were these people taken? many when were the people rescued yesterday abducted? who are they? how -- were we ever informed or did our military not have an
