Nigerian Army rescues 360 hostages from Boko Haram stronghold in Borno
The Nigerian Army says its troops have rescued 360 kidnapped victims from a Boko Haram stronghold in the Mandara Mountains area of southern Borno State.
The military disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday, June 7, through the official X handle of Operation HADIN KAI, the Joint Task Force leading counterinsurgency operations in Nigeria’s North-East.
According to the Army, the rescue operation followed weeks of intelligence gathering, surveillance and operational planning, culminating in the recovery of hundreds of men, women and children who had been abducted from several communities, particularly around the Ngoshe axis of Borno State.
