The Nigerian army has recorded a new success against the deadly Boko Haram sect in Borno state.
Daily Post reports that the troops have killed 50 insurgents while rescuing 500 people in an operation around Mafa, Dikwa and Kala areas.
The areas were constantly terrorised by the Boko Haram terrorists.
The interference of the army resulted in rescuing of over 500 people, mostly women and children.
Following the raid some arms were equally recovered.
During the 2015 year the Nigerian military have freed at least 1324 hostages.
However, the Chibok girls, who were abducted by the insurgents in 2014 from their school in Borno state, were not among the rescued people.
President Muhammadu Buhari recently declared that the Boko Haram sect has been technically defeated. Meanwhile, the sect continues to launch attacks in north-eastern Nigeria.
At least 86 people, including a number of children, have been recently murdered in a series of attacks on a Dalori village near Maiduguri.
