Nigeria's military is moving 200 girls and 93 women from a northeastern forest where they were rescued from Boko Haram extremists.
Army spokesman Colonel Sani Usman said on Wednesday many were traumatised.
The military is flying in medical and intelligence teams to examine them, he said.
Their evacuation from the Sambisa Forest - which the military says is the last stronghold of the Islamic extremists - began on Tuesday but Colonel Usman would not say where the rescued females were being taken.
On Tuesday night, he had indicated that none of the 219 who were still missing more than a year after being snatched from a boarding school in Chibok, a town in northeast Nigeria, were among the rescued females. On Wednesday, he said he was not categorically saying none of the Chibok girls were among the rescued females and that they still needed to be questioned to determine their identities.
"Most of them are traumatised and you have got to put them in a psychological frame of mind to extract information from them," Usman said. The mass kidnapping from Chibok brought Boko Haram to the attention of the world and the failure to rescue them aroused condemnation of Nigeria's government and military.
