ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Ninety-two people who were abducted by jihadi extremists have been rescued by troops in Nigeria's conflict-battered northeast region, the country's military said Sunday.
The abductees — 52 males, 33 females, and seven children — were rescued along the Buratai–Kamuya road in the Biu area of Borno State, military spokesperson Sani Uba said in a statement.
