The Nigerian government rescued 92 Nigerian Christians, including seven children, from jihadists who appeared to be attempting to enslave them.
Nigeria’s military spokesperson Sani Uba said, “Converging on the terrorists in a well-coordinated pursuit toward the Mangari-Dora general area, Operation HADIN KAI troops engaged the insurgents and forced them to abandon their captives and flee in confusion.”

ABUJA, Nigeria — 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.
The militants were “forcibly herding” their victims off the road and into the bush before they were intercepted by the soldiers, Uba said.
