The Nigerian army has reportedly recaptured Gwoza, which is believed to be the headquarters of Boko Haram.
A tweet from the Nigerian Defence Headquarters read:
"Troops this morning captured Gwoza destroying the headquarters of the terrorists self-styled caliphate"
The Nigerian army has also said mopping-up operations are currently going on.
In
the last few months, the Nigerian army launched a major offensive
against Boko Haram, capturing several towns back from the Islamic
militant group.
The last military briefing said that only 3 towns, including Gwoza, remained under Boko Haram's control.
The group had captured Gwoza last August, with the Boko Haram leader declaring a caliphate in areas under his control.
