Boko Haram: Nigerian army 'frees another 234 women and children'
2 May 2015 Africa
Another 234 women and children have been rescued from Boko Haram militants in Nigeria, the military has announced.
It said the operation took place on Thursday in the vast Sambisa forest - a militant hideout - in the north-east of the country.
It was not immediately clear if any of more than 200 girls abducted from a school in Chibok in April 2014 were among those freed.
Nearly 300 women and children were freed by the army earlier this week.
