LAGOS (Reuters) - One of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by jihadist group Boko Haram from their school in northeast Nigeria’s Chibok in 2014 has been found by soldiers, a Nigerian army spokesman said on Saturday, weeks after the militants released 21 of the girls. 
 
 Around 270 girls were kidnapped in April 2014 by the Islamist militant group, which has killed 15,000 people and displaced more than two million during a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic caliphate in north-east Nigeria. 
 
 Dozens escaped in the initial melee, but more than 200 remained missing for more than two years. 
 
 Sani Usman said the girl, Maryam Ali Maiyanga, was discovered by troops who were screening escapees from Boko Haram’s base in the Sambisa forest on Saturday morning in Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area, in Borno State. 
 
 “She was discovered to be carrying a 10-month-old son, named Ali. She has been taken to the unit’s medical facility for (a) proper medical check up,” said Usman. 
 
 Bring Back Our Girls, a group of campaigners with close ties to relatives of those abducted, said “preliminary investigations” showed the girl was number 198 on its register of the kidnapped girls. 
 
 In a statement, the campaign group said she was from Askira Uba, a district of Borno state, and was abducted along with her twin who is yet to return. 
 
 Last month, 21 of the girls were released by Boko Haram following talks with the government brokered by the International Red Cross and the Swiss government. The government has vowed to rescue the girls still being held. 
 
 The first of the schoolgirls to be found was discovered by soldiers on the edge of the Sambisa forest, a former colonial game reserve in Borno state about 100 km (60 miles) from the village of Chibok, in May. 
 
 MILITARY OFFENSIVE 
 
 Nigeria’s military has been carrying out a large-scale offensive in the vast woodland area and other parts of Borno state, the epicenter of the insurgency, in the last few weeks. 
 
 Usman said troops killed 14 suspected Boko Haram militants on Friday during a clash at Mallam Fatori, northern Borno State. 
 
 “We lost an officer and four soldiers, while four other soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries during the encounter,” he said. 
 
 Boko Haram has kidnapped hundreds of men, women and children but the kidnapping of the Chibok girls brought worldwide attention to the group and widespread condemnation. 
 
 The group, which last year pledged loyalty to the militant group Islamic State, controlled a swathe of land around the size of Belgium in early 2015. 
 
 Nigeria’s army, aided by troops from neighboring countries, has since recaptured most of the territory, although the jihadist group still stages suicide bombings in the northeast, as well as in neighboring Niger and Cameroon. ||||| Image copyright AFP Image caption Boko Haram uses the schoolgirls it holds in propaganda videos 
 
 One of the Chibok schoolgirls abducted in Nigeria has been found with a 10-month-old baby son, the military says. 
 
 The girl was discovered in Pulka in northern Borno state, spokesman Sani Usman said. 
 
 The announcement came nearly a month after another 21 Chibok girls were freed after negotiations with Boko Haram Islamist militants. 
 
 More than 270 schoolgirls were seized from the north-eastern town in April 2014, sparking international outrage. 
 
 Mr Usman said the latest girl to be found was discovered by soldiers screening escapees from Boko Haram's base in the Sambisa forest. 
 
 Boko Haram has been fighting a long insurgency in its quest for an Islamic state in northern Nigeria. The conflict is estimated to have killed more than 30,000 people. 
 
 What lies ahead for freed Chibok girls? 
 
 Boko Haram has kidnapped thousands of other people during its seven-year insurgency in northern Nigeria and many people have been made homeless. 
 
 The freeing of 21 girls in October came after talks mediated by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Swiss government. 
 
 Until then, there had only been one confirmed release of a student kidnapped from Chibok - a 19-year-old woman found by an army-backed vigilante group. 
 
 More than 50 managed to escape on the day they were captured. 
 
 Officials have promised to find the remaining 200 still being held. ||||| Story highlights Girl is being evaluated medically after her discovery, army says 
 
 She is said to be among schoolgirls that Boko Haram militants abducted in Nigeria in 2014 
 
 (CNN) One of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria in 2014 was found Saturday by the Nigerian army, the army said. 
 
 She was discovered carrying a 10-month-old son among a group that had escaped from a Boko Haram hideout in Sambisa Forest, the army said. 
 
 "This morning as part of the operation we've been conducting, we rescued one of the Chibok girls. ... Our troops in Pulka rescued her along with a Boko Haram member," Maj. Gen. Lucky Irabor said at a press briefing Saturday. 
 
 Maiyanga is said to be one of the schoolgirls abducted in 2014. 
 
 "And of course, the baby, you can see with her, is a 10-month-old baby." 
 
 The girl, identified as Maryam Ali Maiyanga, is said to have been among the 276 girls and women that Boko Haram militants herded from bed in the middle of the night at a boarding school in Chibok in April 2014.
– One of the 276 women and girls kidnapped from a Nigerian boarding school by Boko Haram in 2014 was found by the Nigerian army Saturday, CNN reports. The girl, identified by Reuters as Maryam Ali Maiyanga, was carrying a 10-month-old baby, her son Ali. She was with a group of people who escaped a Boko Haram base in the Sambisa Forest. Maiyanga was number 198 on Bring Back Our Girls' list of Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped in April 2014. She was abducted with her twin sister, who is still missing. Of the 276 girls and women taken from the Chibok boarding school, 57 quickly escaped from Boko Haram. Another was found in May after escaping, and 21 were freed in October as part of a deal made by the Red Cross and the Swiss government. The Nigerian government says it's negotiating with Boko Haram to release 83 more of the schoolgirls. The rest, sources tell CNN, are either dead or don't want to leave Boko Haram. The terrorist group has been fighting for seven years to set up an Islamic state in Nigeria, the BBC reports. It's killed some 15,000 people and displaced more than 2 million during its insurgency.
