ABUJA, April 16 (Reuters) - Nigeria's military said on  Wednesday its forces had freed most of the schoolgirls abducted  by Islamist Boko Haram militants, and were continuing the search  for eight students still missing.                

"With this development, the Principal of the school has  confirmed that only 8 of the students are still missing," armed  forces spokesman Major General Chris Olukolade said in a  statement sent to media. He did not specify exactly how many of  the girls had been rescued, but said one of the "terrorists"  involved in the abduction had been captured.     (Reporting by Isaac Abrak and Chijioke Ohuocha; Editing by  Pascal Fletcher)
