According to Osinbajo, the girls are
currently receiving medical care at a DSS
facility located near the Nnamdi Azikiwe

girls was carrying a child.
The Vice president said this in an interview
with State House reporters after visiting
with the freed girls at the medical centre of
the DSS located at the Airport Road, Abuja.

21 freed girls were in good health, but that

medical centre for some time until the
government was satisfied that they were
