The Nigerian Army on Monday rescued the wife and daughter of Shehu of Bama from the Boko Haram enclave in Borno.
The Emir's wife and two of her children were abducted by Boko Haram fighters two years ago.
While the queen and her daughter have regained their freedom, the second child, the son was killed by the insurgents few months after the abduction.
The queen and her daughter have been taken to the Emir's residence in Maiduguri, by the General Officer Commanding, 7 Division of Nigeria Army, Brig. Gen. Victor Ezugwu.
They were reportedly rescued during a clearance operation by soldiers.
