The Nigerian military has said that it has freed 200 girls and 93 women in an area where Islamist militant group Boko Haram is active but added that the girls abducted from a Chibok school in April 2014 were not among them.
The military said that the girls and women were released as part of a major operation that ended in the seizure of four Boko Haram camps in the Sambisa Forest, reported the BBC.
Weapons were also seized from these camps, the military said.
Nigerian security forces have seized most of the territory that was previously being held by the terror group.
The militant group sparked global condemnation when it abducted more than 219 girls from the town of Chibok last year.
The United States, China and other world powers promised to help find the girls but they have not been traced so far. Little is known about them since they were kidnapped from their boarding school.
