Following Boko Haram's claimed assault on a military base in Ngoshe on March 6, 2026—where terrorists reported killing soldiers and vowing to establish a caliphate—Borno State Governor Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum stated that the attack stemmed from insurgents being driven out of Sambisa forest.

The governor's comments emphasize the dynamic insurgent movements in the region. No additional details on casualties or response were mentioned.
