Abuja - Nigeria's military rescued another set of women and children who had been kidnapped by Boko Haram militia and were being detained in Sambisa forest where the Islamist group has been holed up, an army spokesperson said on Thursday.

"They have been evacuated to a safety zone for further processing," Colonel Sani Usman said in a statement without specifying the number of people saved from the hardline group, which seeks to create a caliphate in western Africa.

Earlier this week, the army said it rescued nearly 300 women and girls from the same forest in the north eastern Borno state as it fights to quash the six-year Islamist insurgency.

The army announced the rescue on Twitter and said it was screening and interviewing the abducted girls and women.

Troops destroyed and cleared four militant camps and rescued 200 abducted girls and 93 women "but they are not the Chibok girls," army spokesperson Colonel Sani Usman told The Associated Press.

Very soon they'll start telling us to believe them and just have faith that the women were released!.

I wonder what our media houses are doing? AIT, Channels and TVC, you'll expect they would have made the states were these women were rescued from their base of operations now.

I doubt it! I will say they've not mustered the impetus to go there.

If the NA is not on the offensive, BH will not be running away not to talk of leaving something behind. That shows that the NA is winning.
