Army Frees Hundreds in Raid on Boko Haram Camps
By Editor
The government gave no indication whether any of those rescued on Tuesday were among the hundreds of girls kidnapped in Chibok, Nigeria, in April 2014, who inspired the “Bring Back Our Girls” campaign. Also on Tuesday, Nigerian troops, acting on a tip, ambushed and killed four suspected Boko Haram terrorists allegedly on a suicide bombing mission to Adamawa state. Those soldiers recovered two AK-47 rifles, some unexploded bombs, mortar devices and cash, according to the army statement.
“We shall continue to decisively deal with Boko Haram terrorists until they are defeated,” it read, asking that residents cooperate with the military and security agencies. This wasn’t the first successful operation the Nigerian Army have conducted against Boko Haram that freed hostages. In September the Nigerian military rescued 241 women and children in a raid on two camps controlled by Boko Haram, the military reported. That mission unfolded in the villages of Jangurori and Bulatori. Forty-three militants who belonged to the terrorist group were arrested, the military said, including a senior leader in the organisation.
