Boko Haram 'captives' arrive at Nigeria refugee camp

A group of nearly 300 women and girls, which the Nigerian army says were freed from Boko Haram militants earlier this week, have been taken to a refugee camp in north-eastern Nigeria.

They had travelled for three days from the vast Sambisa forest where they were rescued, according to the army.

The group arrived in trucks and jeeps at a school converted into the camp in the city of Yola.
