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.

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.
