Nigerian Military Rescues 360 Abducted Women and Children

Senator Ali Ndume (Borno South) commended the Nigerian military for their successful rescue operation that freed 360 women and children abducted by Boko Haram in Ngoshe, Borno State. The release occurred on a Saturday, three months after the victims were taken during an attack on a military base on March 4.

Ndume praised the professionalism and courage of the troops involved, acknowledging the logistical challenges they faced. Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum confirmed the release and expressed gratitude for the military's efforts.

He also highlighted the role of Zubaida Umar, the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency, in providing relief materials to displaced residents. Ndume called for increased security measures to ensure the safety of schoolchildren in the area and condemned the killing of a soldier by repentant Boko Haram members in Mandaragra village, Biu Local Government Area.
