GWOZA RETAKEN.
The Nigerian army says it has retaken the north-eastern
town of Gwoza, believed to be the headquarters of
militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
The insurgents had now been driven from virtually all the
territory they had held, it said.
Some militants were now fleeing towards border areas, the
military said.
News of Gwoza's recapture comes a day before
presidential elections, which were postponed by six weeks
because of the offensive against Boko Haram.
The town,
which was captured by the Boko Haram
insurgents last year and converted into their
caliphate, served as the last vestige of the
terrorists’ stronghold after all the other
captured towns in Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa states were retaken.
