President Buhari this afternoon received the rescued Chibok Girl Amina Ali Nkeki, her daughter, Safiya and her family in the presidential villa.
Amina flew in on a presidential jet with the Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima among others, to meet the president. She was rescued by the JTF alongside her daughter and her husband on Tuesday May 17.

Television Continental reporter Wale Fakile has reacted to his girlfriend's accusation that he beat her up. Here's a mail I just received from Wale.
MY VERSION OF THE STORY
I have read all the tirades and accusations levelled against me by Mandy Isaac on Social Media and for posterity and records purposes, I need to state my side of the story. Yes, it is true that we are friends but we stopped dating in June 2015. However, we started again in December 2015.
Our last date was on Wednesday, May 16th, 2016 in my residence and in spite of Mandy telling me that she had stopped drinking, she requested for alcohol which I did not oblige
her. However, I later found out that she had drank 2 cans of Vodka (picture below). I went out to withdraw some money and she stepped out too, after having taking possession of my phone.
When I returned, she got back and accused me of talking to ladies and insisted she had to leave that night. I pleaded with her but she said she would leave and I gave her N2,000 as Transport fare. In her semi-nude state, she flared up, demanded for N50,000 and called me unprintable names. Later, she went berserk and started destroying things in my house (See pictures below) before she started rolling herself on the floor.
I got a call the same night from a female police officer at ketu Police Station (I was NEVER ARRESTED) who asked that I report at the station that night or the following morning. I could not go to the police station that night because it was already late (some minutes past 11:00pm) but I made sure that I got to the station as early as possible (8:00am). To my surprise she never showed up even after my call at the station.
It is unfortunate that this happened to me but I am not only a responsible man but I also work in a responsible organisation that values and cherishes its publics. This is a deliberate attempt to frame me and I call on investigative Journalists to go deeper than the story and either vilify me or corroborate my claims.

Amina Ali Nkeki, one of the missing schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram Islamic sect from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014, yesterday got rescued and has said 6 of her colleagues are dead.
Activists also told the BBC that Amina was found by a vigilante group on Tuesday in Sambisa Forest, close to the border with Cameroon.
Amina was reportedly recognised by a civilian fighter. She told her rescuers that six of her abducted
colleagues had died while others were being held in Sambisa Forest by their abductors.
The fighter belonged to the Civilian Joint Task Force, a vigilante group set up to help fight Boko Haram.
Aboku Gaji, leader of the vigilante group in Chibok, said:
"The moment this girl was discovered by our vigilantes, she was brought to my house. I instantly recognised her, and insisted we should take her to her parents.
"When we arrived at the house… I asked the mother to come and identify someone. The moment she saw her, she shouted her name: 'Amina, Amina!' She gave her the biggest hug ever, as if they were going to roll on the ground, we had to stabilise them.
"The mother called the attention of other relations to come out and see what is happening. The girl started comforting the mother, saying: 'Please Mum, take it easy, relax. I never thought I would ever see you again, wipe your tears. God has made it possible for us to see each other again.'
"Afterwards, we had to make them understand that the girl would not be left in their care. She must be handed over to the authority."
Hosea Abana Tsambido, the Chibok community in the capital, Abuja, told the BBC that Amina had been found after venturing into the forest to search for firewood.
"She was saying… all the Chibok girls are still there in the Sambisa except six of them that have already died."
The Nigerian military said she was from the town of Mbalala, south of Chibok, from where 25 of the kidnapped girls came.
Amina was later moved to Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria's Borno State.
Before their arrival in Maiduguri, the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, who was apparently delighted about the news, told the visiting United Nations Under- Secretary on Humanitarian Affairs, Mr. Stephen O' Brien, that the freed girl might give information that could lead to the rescue of other abducted girls and perhaps to the hideouts of the insurgents.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 7 Division Nigerian Army, Brig. Gen. Victor Ezugwu, who brought the girl to Shettima, told the media that the governor had promised to present the freed girl to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The governor said as a sign of honour, he would take the girl to Mr. President on Thursday (today).
The girl was not allowed to have a chat with the media as she was led to meet with the governor by military personnel.
Shortly after presenting the girl to the governor, Ezugwu told journalists that Shettima would hand her over to President Muhammadu who would in turn present her to the nation.
"I want to further confirm to you that, we have found one of the Chibok girls but we plead for your understanding on this issue, we need to give her time to rest as you can see she is traumatised and nursing a baby.
"The governor has told us that he did not want to take credit for this and will hand over the girl to Mr. President who will in turn unveil her to the nation," Ezugwu said.
Punch reports that as of the time of going to the press last night, the governor and the freed girl had not emerged to address the media.
The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, who had earlier confirmed Amina's rescue in a statement on Wednesday, added that a suspected Boko Haram suspect, Mohammed Hayatu, who claimed to be the 'husband' of the girl had been arrested by the troops.
Usman, who had earlier given the name of the rescued girl as Fatmata Mbalala, said her name was Amina Ali.
He said that the troops of the 25 Task Force Brigade rescued the girl and arrested the terror suspect who claimed to be her 'husband' during what he described as a booking operation at Baale, near Damboa, Borno State.
He said that investigation conducted by the Army showed that the girl was one of the 219 girls abducted from GSS, Chibok
Usman said that the girl was rescued with her one-year old child, named Safiya.
He added that the girl, her 'husband' and the child had been taken to Maiduguri for medical screening.
"Please recall that we informed you that one of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls has been rescued earlier today and promised to give further details.
"Further to that, in continuation of Operation Crackdown, troops of 25 Brigade Damboa in conjunction with the Civilian JTF deployed in one of the blocking positions at Baale, near Damboa rescued one Miss Amina Ali and a suspected Boko Haram terrorist, Mohammed Hayatu, who claimed to be her husband.
"Both were brought to the Headquarters of 25 Task Force Brigade Damboa at about 2.30pm today (Wednesday).
"Preliminary investigation shows that she is indeed one of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists on April 14, 2014 in Chibok and her name is Amina Ali as against Falmata Mbalala that was earlier stated.
Meanwhile, the BringBackOurGirls movement on Wednesday in Abuja confirmed that the found girl is one of the over 276 schoolgirls kidnapped in Chibok.
A statement by the spokesperson for the #BringBackOurGirls#, Sesugh Akume, gave her name as Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki from Mbalala.
Akume said the girl had provided useful information that her other classmates were still being held by terrorists in Sambisa Forest.
Reacting, a civil rights organisation, ActionAid Nigeria, on Wednesday said the discovery of Amina was an indication that the 218 others would also be found.
A statement by its Country Director, Ojobo Ode Atuluku, said it was great news that the first Chibok schoolgirl had been found, Punch adds.
Hashimu Suleiman, last year made a vow that if Buhari won, he would trek from Lagos to Abuja to congratulate the general.
Buhari went ahead and won, Suleiman made good his vow and 'hoofed' it to Abuja (supposedly),
Less than a year on, this energetic man who trekked from Lagos to Abuja in celebration of President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in 2015 presidential election has described his action as a big mistake.
Suleiman said he regretted trekking for Buhari who has now made life unbearable for the masses.
According to Dailypost, the man expressed his dissatisfaction with the way the president has been ruling Nigeria in the last one year.
Reports quoted him saying, "Removing fuel subsidy at this hard time is not palatable to hear, when so many workers and labourers can hardly put food on their table, many companies have folded up, and cost of living is very high.
"Nigerians have been hoping for a positive change for a very long time, enduring hardship and now the Federal government wants to make things worse for the masses."
Issokay, don't complain sir. Y'all had excess energy to trek to Abuja, so trekking in these times of increased fuel prices should be a 'walk in the park'. Lmao!
Well amidst the bad economy some people still had a couple of thousands to spare
I wonder if i am seeing double...
