Nigeria's Military Rescues 200 Girls, 93 Women; Freed in Nigeria's Sambisa Forest, Drive Ongoing

Two hundred girls and 93 women -- believed to have been kidnapped by Nigeria's militant Islamist group Boko Haram -- have been rescued in the nation's Sambisa Forest, the Christian Headlines website reports today (April 29, 2015).

The Nigerian Armed Forces made the announcement on its Twitter page, but could not confirm if the girls were among the schoolgirls that were kidnapped from a school in Chibok by Boko Haram militants in April 2014.

The Nigerian military also claimed to have destroyed three terrorist camps.

Military spokesman Chris Olukolade said that the armed forces' mission was ongoing.
