Boko Haram Takfiri militant stronghold in Nigeria’s
northeastern Borno state, the military says, Press TV
reported.
"Troops have this afternoon captured and destroyed
three camps of terrorists inside the Sambisa Forest
and rescued 200 girls and 93 women," AFP quoted
military spokesman Chris Olukolade as saying on
Tuesday.
The Nigerian Military Spokesman Has Confirmed that the the rescued are not the same
“Chibok girls” who were kidnapped last year, he said
adding, “The freed persons are now being screened
and profiled."
The spokesman did not specify when the rescued
hostages’ identification would be completed.

girls from a secondary school in Chibok in Borno state.
Fifty-seven of the girls managed to escape but 219
remained in captivity, reportedly in the Sambisa
Forest.
