The Department of State Services (DSS) has transferred the 82 Chibok schoolgirls, who were released earlier in the month, to the ministry of women affairs for rehabilitation.

Ever since they regained freedom, the girls have been with the security agency, where they were made to undergo several medical tests and treatment.

The girls spent three years in captivity and were only freed after the federal government negotiated with their captors.

Details of the negotiation have not been made public, but the government admitted that some Boko Haram commanders were swapped with the victims.
