More than 300 people abducted in separate attacks in Nigeria have been rescued, the country's presidency says, in what it describes as its largest single-day operation by joint security forces.
The victims were rescued from the Kainji Lake National Park in Niger State in an operation involving the military, police, intelligence unit and the National Counter-Terrorism Centre.
Those freed include 163 people abducted during a February attack on the Woro community in Kwara State, where scores were killed.
