The Nigerian army says it has freed another 150 people who were held by the militant group Boko Haram.

An army official told VOA that troops rescued about 100 children and 50 women on Wednesday in the Sambisa Forest in northeastern Nigeria.

The large forest holds many Boko Haram camps. It is believed to be the place where the group took many of the thousands of Nigerians it kidnapped over the past few years.

The army said it also freed 200 girls and 93 women from the forest on Tuesday. Reporters have not yet seen the women and girls, and the military has released no photos of them.
