About 300 women and girls were on Tuesday afternoon, rescued in what analysts described as the most daring and precise operation by the Nigerian troops which stormed the dreaded Sambas Forest.
Sources said that at least three major terrorists camps have been destroyed in the well-cordinated attacks that include the destruction of the notorious Tokumbere camp in the Sambisa Forest.
Director Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade, while confirming the report, however, said he could not confirm the identity of the freed victims and their origins and he could not state if any of them was from Chibok until after thorough screening and proper investigations.
“I can only confirm the rescued this afternoon of 200 girls and 93 women in different camps in the forest. We are yet to determine their origin as all the freed persons are now being screened and profiled. Please don’t misquote me on their origin. We will provide more details later.”
