Nigerian army 'rescues more than 1,100 Boko Haram captives'
The Nigerian army says it has rescued more than 1,100 civilians from the clutches of Boko Haram militants.
It
announced the rescues in a press release on Tuesday, revealing more
than 600 people were saved in one operation along the Nigeria-Cameroon
border.
Another 700 were rescued from a series of villages, the army said.
The
statement comes as the army finds itself under fire for removing
soldiers from checkpoints around Dapchi shortly before Boko Haram
attacked the town and kidnapped 110 girls.
On Monday it was announced they were throwing resources at the hunt for the girls and their abductors.
However, many are questioning how the abduction was allowed to happen in the first place.
