The Nigerian Army says it has rescued dozens of local residents, mostly women, abducted by members of the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Boko Haram terrorist groups in Borno State.
Several members of the terrorist groups were also neutralised during a series of offensive onslaught conducted by troops in the region.
In a post on Friday on its verified Facebook page, the army shared photos of some of the terrorists killed by the soldiers, as well as those rescued.
Troops of Operation Desert Sanity recorded the feat during the operations conducted around Ndufu and Musiri villages in Borno State.
While the clearance operations were ongoing, the army said the troops recovered some weapons and destroyed various camps of the terrorists.
