ANOTHER set of 234 women and children were rescued through the Kawuri and Konduga end of Sambisa Forest on Thursday.
A press statement by Maj-Gen Chris Olukolade, the Director of Defence Information (DDI) at the Defence Headquarters, yesterday said they had been evacuated to join others at the place of ongoing screening.
This set, he said, was in addition to the previous individuals earlier rescued during the ongoing operation in the area.
“The assault on the forest is continuing from various fronts and efforts are concentrated on rescuing hostages of civilians and destroying all terrorists camps and facilities in the forest,” he noted.
