Nigeria: 360 hostages freed by Nigerian army in Boko Haram stronghold

The Nigerian army freed 360 hostages held by Boko Haram in the Mandara mountains in southern Borno state on Sunday. The operation is part of increased pressure on jihadists. Last month, a joint operation with the US eliminated 175 ISWAP fighters. Nigeria faces a severe security crisis in the north, with kidnappings and a jihadist insurgency over a decade long.
