Lagos: Hundreds of women

and children rescued from Boko Haram are undergoing medical tests and treatment as they recover in camps in northeast Nigeria, the country’s main relief agency said on Monday. The National Emergency Management Agency ( NEMA) said those not receiving treatment in hospital would receive “all the support they require” as

they come to terms with their ordeal. A total of 275 women and children were brought to a camp in the

Adamawa state capital, Yola, at the weekend, following a military operation

to free them in Boko Haram’s Sambisa Forest

stronghold.
