Military Rescues Abducted Victims Months After Ngoshe Attac
Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI, have rescued six women and children abducted during a terrorist attack on Ngoshe community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, months after they were taken captive by Boko Haram/ISWAP insurgents.
The rescue operation was carried out on May 12, 2026, during ongoing military offensives under Operation DESERT SANITY aimed at dismantling terrorist networks across the North-East.
According to military authorities, the victims were rescued during a coordinated operation conducted at a suspected terrorist crossing point near Amuda following actionable intelligence obtained after an air interdiction mission around the Mandara Mountains.
The rescued victims were identified as Aisha Musa, 18; Aisha Mohammed, 17; Fatima Yahaya, 20; Saudatu Musa, 4; Garba Mohammed, 5; and Mohammed Yahaya, a three-month-old infant.
Military sources disclosed that the victims were among residents abducted by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists during an attack on Ngoshe community on March 3, 2026.
Following their rescue, the victims received immediate medical attention at a military medical facility before being reunited with their families through the community leader of Ngoshe, Mallam Adamu Gunda.
In a separate operation on the same day, troops deployed at Tango 7 location in Konduga Local Government Area arrested a suspected terrorist associate identified as Hauwa Bulama, 40.
Items recovered from the suspect included detergent, washing soap, a torchlight, and food seasoning cubes. Preliminary investigations reportedly indicated that she was allegedly on her way to Gezuwa to meet four of her children suspected to be members of the terrorist group.
The military also disclosed that troops under Sector 2, supported by military intelligence operatives, arrested two additional suspects identified as Bakura, 18, and Adiza, 17, in Damaturu, Yobe State.
The arrests were linked to an earlier operation involving the interception of a suspected ammunition courier identified as Ba’akaka Abubakar, also known as Modogol, who was allegedly planning to deliver ammunition to terrorists.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Adiza was allegedly assigned to collect the ammunition for onward delivery to a terrorist commander. The suspects remain in custody while efforts continue to apprehend other members of the network and recover the ammunition.
Operation HADIN KAI reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining aggressive operations against terrorist groups, rescuing abducted civilians, and restoring lasting peace across the North-East region.
