Troops of the Nigerian Army yesterday, Tuesday April 28, rescued 200 girls and 93 women during a raid on Sambisa Forest – But it isn’t yet known, if the Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014 were among those rescued.

The Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, confirmed the news of the rescue of the ladies, which was first announce via the Twitter handle of the military to PUNCH on the telephone.
The tweets read:
“Troops this (Tuesday) afternoon rescued 200 girls and 93 women from Sambisa. We cannot confirm if the Chibok girls are in the group.
“The troops captured and destroyed three terrorist camps, including the notorious Tokumbere Camp in the Sambisa Forest operation.
“Sambisa Forest: The freed persons are now being screened and profiled. We will bring you details later.”
We hope at least some of the abducted school girls were among those rescued or what do you think???
