(Al Jazeera) – Nearly all of the 110 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria last month have been released by the armed group, according to the government. The government said on Wednesday that 101 of the 110 schoolgirls had been confirmed freed and the number “would be updated after the remaining ones have been documented”. “No ransoms were paid,” Lai Mohammed, Nigeria’s information minister, said in a statement.
