Nigerian Military to Rehabilitate Rescued Boko Haram Hostages
Nearly 300 females rescued from Boko Haram camps on the Sambisa forest by the Nigerian military will be handed over to the National Emergency Relief Agency for medical checks before being reunited with their families.
A spokesman from the relief agency disclosed that the 200 girls and 93 women will also undergo psycho-social therapy for displaced people in Yola in Adamawa state to help overcome the trauma and brainwash they underwent in the camps and ease their re-integration back into society.
The military also claimed to have destroyed 13 camps belonging to the insurgents in Sambisa and rescued 160 people in addition to the 293 females.
There are however concerns that the rescued women and children might have been residents of the area left behind in the deserted communities.
