Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
A major action by the Nigerian military against the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram as resulted in the freedom of 71 girls and women who had been held captive by the terror group.
Some of the women had been in the control of the terrorists for a year.
Close to 30 people were saved in a raid on Tuesday, with the remainder freed during an assault on two jihadist camps in Borno on Wednesday. The camps were about 22 miles southeast of the Borno state capital of Maiduguri.
Army spokesman Tukur Gusau said a number of terrorists were killed during the military raid.
The army has been focusing on raids that will free hostages in light of many of the hostages being forced into suicide terror attacks. Suicide bomber attacks spurred by Boko Haram have killed 47 people in the last week.
The group has also increased their campaigns of terror, killing 830 in just two months.
However, Nigeria’s military spokesman said a new multi-national group fighting the terrorists is about to go into service.
“Any moment from now, the operations or the Task Force will be manifest. In other words, we may not tell you (when it will commence), you will just see it,” Nigeria’s military spokesman Major General Chris Olukolade told AFP, who declined to give further details for strategic reasons.
