Troops have rescued forty two women, fifty one men and two children used by Boko Haram terrorists as labourer on farm in different clearance operations in Borno state.
The Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sagir Musa, confirmed this in a statement, adding that three terrorists were neutralised in the operation.
According to Musa, twenty four of the children rescued were administered with polio vaccines by the Nigerian Army Regimental Medical Officers.
He explained that it was in line with the Chief of Army Staff directive as a result of the collaboration between the army and National Primary Health Care Development Agency to reach out to areas not captured in the polio vaccination exercise.
Musa said new camps set up by the terrorists were also destroyed by the troops. He said some copies of Quran, one generator, two bicycles, flags, five bicycles, five SIM cards of different networks and assorted clothing materials were recovered.
