Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have rescued six residents of the Ngoshe community who were abducted by Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists, the military said on Thursday.
The rescue operation took place on May 14 along the Amuda–Gava corridor in the Mandara Mountains axis, according to a statement by Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, Media Information Officer of the Joint Task Force (North East).
“The rescued persons were identified as Amina Salihu (52), Aishatu Musa (50), twin sisters Hassana and Hussaina Abubakar (9 years each), Adamu Zakariyya (12), and Usman Zakariyya (10),” Uba said.
The rescued individuals were received by Brigadier General Nasirudeen Abdullahi, Commander of 26 Task Force Brigade, and provided medical attention at the Brigade Medical Reception Station before being reunited with their families through the community leader and the Chief Imam of Ngoshe.
“The Commander assured residents of Ngoshe community that troops will sustain ongoing rescue operations until all abducted persons are safely reunited with their families,” Uba said.
Since the attack on Ngoshe community on March 3, 2026, a total of 60 women and children have been rescued, the military said.
The Chief Imam of Ngoshe offered prayers for the success of troops in ongoing operations, while troops continue to maintain an aggressive posture in the area, according to Uba.
In other coordinated operations across the theatre, troops neutralised two Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in Konduga Local Government Area and arrested a suspected terrorist collaborator in Yobe State.
