Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has commended the Nigerian military, particularly troops of Operation HADIN KAI, for the successful rescue of 360 abductees from the Mandara mountain, a notorious terrorist enclave in the southern part of the state.
Zulum first visited the people of Ngoshe on March 6, 2026, and two weeks later spent the night with the victims in Pulka town, Gwoza local government, where he assured them of the federal and Borno State governments’ commitment to securing the release of those who are still being held captive.
The governor also visited Ngoshe town, where he directed the immediate assessment and reconstruction of the destroyed houses to ensure that the inhabitants who are taking refuge in Pulka return to their ancestral home.
