Chadian children, numbering 43, have escaped from notorious group, of Boko Haram.
According to the spokesman for the Chadian Army, Col. Azem Agouna, the children were kidnapped and forced to become child soldiers.
He said the children, who were found in Damasak, in Borno state, had escaped during the clashes between the terrorists and soldiers.
They were reportedly hidden by residents of the village.
Agouna said the children came out of their hideouts after it was evident that the Boko Haram militants have been sacked from the town. They approached the Chadian security forces for help.
The children, who were said to be 12 years and above, were repatriated on Wednesday, April 22.
The Nigerian and Chadian army had recaptured Damasak, which was under the rule of Boko Haram, in early March.
