The army has confirmed the rescue of one of the abducted Chibok girls, Amina Ali.
However, activists and community leaders have said that the freed Chibok girl is actually called Amina Ali Nkek, and that she was found in Sambisa forest by vigilantes.
The forest is the main hideout of militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
The chairman of the Chibok Parents Association in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, suggested that the vigilantes were lucky to find her.
Hosea Abana Tsambido told BBC Focus on Africa:
She was saying she came out to fetch firewood. That's why the vigilantes were able to intercept her.
She was saying the Nigerian army cannot penetrate [the forest] to get them because they are well secured in the Sambisa forest, and that all the Chibok girls are still there in the Sambisa, except six of them that have already died.
