The Nigerian military says it has rescued 178 people from the Islamist militant group Boko Haram in northern Borno state.
In a statement released, it said that 101 of those freed were children and a further 67 were women.
The statement did not say if the girls abducted from a school in Chibok in April 2014 were among them.
The military also says that a Boko Haram commander was captured and several camps were cleared.
