The Ngoshe community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, attacked in March 2026, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to rescue over four hundred residents abducted by Boko Haram insurgents.
Ali Ndume, the senator representing Borno South in the National Assembly, disclosed this at a press conference in Pulka, where the displaced persons are currently taking refuge.
He also appealed to the Federal Government to rebuild the community and provide humanitarian support to the displaced persons.
The senator further called for the reconstruction of dilapidated roads and destroyed houses, among other infrastructure, while commending Governor Babagana Zulum, who has already donated the sum of one hundred million naira to the Ngoshe community.
He also urged the international community, especially the United States of America, to beam its searchlight on the three black spots of Sambisa Forest, the Mandara Mountains, and the Lake Chad region in Borno State, for the safety of residents.

He urged the Federal Government to work with the Borno State Government to facilitate the resettlement of displaced residents willing to return to the community.
“It is on record that the Nigerian Army has recovered Ngoshe from the insurgents and now occupies it. Those who escaped are currently taking refuge in Pulka,” Ndume said
He expressed concern over what he described as the government’s failure to fully meet its constitutional responsibility of protecting lives and property.
“It is appalling that those of us in authority at the federal level have not met our people’s expectations in fulfilling this sacred duty,” he added.
The lawmaker called for urgent action to secure the release of the abducted residents and appealed to the Tinubu administration to commence reconstruction of Ngoshe, which was destroyed during insurgent attacks.
According to him, many displaced residents have indicated willingness to return to Ngoshe, even if it means living in temporary shelters pending the rebuilding of their homes.
