Nigerian troops involved in Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) say they have rescued about 360 civilians, mostly women and children, who were abducted from Ngoshe community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State. Multiple reports describe the operation as carried out by troops of the North-East Joint Task Force, working with Special Operations Forces. According to the accounts, the victims were taken by suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP elements during an invasion of the community. One report states the captives have been in detention since 3 March 2026, and it presents the rescue as their safe release. Another report says the operation involved a specific approach and outlines how the troops conducted the rescue, while confirming the overall number of people recovered and their predominantly female and child composition. A separate outlet also attributes the announcement to the North-East Joint Task Force theatre commander, Maj.-Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar. The reports do not provide additional details on casualties, the fate of captors, or the exact location where the victims were held beyond the connection to the Gwoza-area abductions.
