Nigerian troops
have rescued 200 girls from Sambisa forest, the notorious hideout of the
insurgent group, Boko Haram, the defence headquarters said Tuesday. The
girls were found Tuesday afternoon alongside 93 women who were also rescued,
the military said.
The
military however said it could not confirm whether the girls were students
abducted more than a year ago from a secondary school in Chibok, Borno State. The
girls were being “screened and profiled”, the military said.
“Troops
this afternoon rescued 200 girls & 93 women from Sambisa Forest. We cannot
confirm if the #ChibokGirls are in this group,” the military said in a series
of tweets.
“Troops
captured and destroyed 3 terrorists camps including the notorious Tokumbere
camp in the Sambisa Forest Operation.
“The
freed persons are now being screened and profiled,” while promising to provide
more detail on the operation later.”
