ICC Note: Rescued Nigerian Chibok girl is set to meet President Muhammadu Buhari after she was reported rescued yesterday from Sambisa Forest. Amina was one of 276 girls that Boko Haram abducted in April 2014 from a government school, whisking them away to be forcibly converted to Islam and married off to fighters.
