The Nigerian army said Sunday it freed 360 people abducted by Boko Haram in southern Borno, in the northeastern part of the country.
The operation took place in the Mandara Mountains, a key stronghold of the militant group, and resulted in the rescue of several people, including children, who had been abducted from various communities across Borno.
Two infants “succumbed to exhaustion" due to the challenging mountainous terrain and the hardship they endured during their prolonged captivity, an army spokesperson, Haruna Sani, said.
