Nigeria's army has published 100 photos of people whom it says are its most-wanted Boko Haram suspects.
The army urged the public to phone special hotlines if any of the suspects were spotted, as it steps up efforts to hunt down the Islamist militants.
President Muhammadu Buhari, who took office in May, has given the military a mid-November deadline to defeat them.
Boko Haram has lost most of its territory this year but increased suicide attacks and bombings since May.
It began its insurgency in 2009 in north-eastern Nigeria, but has since spread its activities to neighbouring Chad, Cameroon and Niger.
Boko Haram is allied with the Islamic State (IS) group which is fighting for a global caliphate - a state governed in accordance with Islamic law.
