Chadian Soldiers 'Rescue 85 Nigerians From Boko Haram'

Nigeria imposed a state of emergency in Borno state last year to deal with the Boko Haram insurgency


Reports are emerging of the rescue by Chadian troops of some 85 Nigerian villagers abducted earlier this week by suspected Boko Haram militants.
A Nigerian security official told AFP that they had intercepted a convoy of buses transporting gunmen and the villagers in a routine security check.
Neither the Nigerian or Chadian militaries have confirmed the reports.
