Gombi was recaptured from Boko Haram in 2014 and since then, the terrorists have made several failed attempts to resize the town from the Nigerian army.

Just before 2015 was over, President Muhammadu Buhari announced that he had succeeded in his pledge, claiming that Boko Haram is now “technically defeated”.

However, despite successes, the sect is still far from being eliminated.
