Thursday, March, 12 2026 - The Nigerian Army has successfully recaptured it's forward operation base in Ngoshe town, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to Daily Trust, the operation was conducted in
collaboration with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), local
vigilante and hunters groups.
Recall that the Boko Haram terrorists had last week k!lled
14 soldiers and many civilians during an attack, and abducted over 100 women
and children.
Earlier on Friday, according to a military source, the
General Commanding Officer, (GOC) went to Pulka and mobilized 200 troops into
the deserted Ngoshe, where he assessed the situation and left.
At least 60 soldiers were left behind, but they later
retreated to Pulka when they noticed the movement of a large number of
terrorists planning a counter attack.
"The brigade commander of Gwoza met us in Pulka and
assured support. Today, (Wednesday) we were able to recapture Ngoshe after
engaging the remaining insurgents in a gun battle,” he said.
He said the town is fully under the control of the military.
Earlier on Wednesday, Minister of Defence, Chris Musa, had
summoned Service Chiefs to Abuja, over the resurgence of attacks.
Speaking before the meeting entered a closed-door, Defence
Minister revealed that they had agreed to review the strategies on how to go
harder with the terrorists.
"We know we have recorded some casualties but it is
more on the side of terrorists,” the retired four-star General said.
