The Nigerian military on Friday, March 27, 2015 announced that it had regained control of Gwoza, Borno State from the clutches of Islamist sect, Boko Haram, who had set up its headquarters in the town.
It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan had predicted that Gwoza would be liberated by Friday, March 27, 2015, a prediction which has come to pass.
Announcing the recapture of the town via its official Twitter account, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters stated that mopping up operations were currently ongoing in the area.
