More than 677 women and children rescued from the clutches of Boko Haram

#BokoHaram #Nigeria #Chibokgirls #Sambisa The military of Nigeria has intensified its attacks on camps of Boko Haram in the Sambisa forest and have destroyed many of these camps simultaneously, rescuing more than 677 women and children. These people had been kept imprisoned by the Boko Haram and many of the girls and women have become pregnant.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 3 May 2015.

Out of those rescued, a group of 275 have been brought to a refugee camp in northeast Nigeria. They arrived in a convoy of armed vehicles after a journey that lasted three days. There were two newborn babies among them and all of them have been taken to a school in Yola. This was converted into a refugee camp for people who have been displaced by the Islamist group. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is being entrusted with the task of caring for them.
It may be recalled that nearly 250 schoolgirls had been kidnapped from their school in Chibok last year and it is not known if any of the women rescued now are the same schoolgirls.
