Around 360 people from the farming community of Ngoshe, in Nigeria's Borno State, have been freed after being held captive by Boko Haram, but many are unable to return home. Fighters warned captives not to go back to their village before withdrawing, and much of Ngoshe was burnt down at the time of the abduction three months ago. Security forces have retaken the area, though the threat of further attacks remains. Analysts warn that instability in north-east Nigeria persists, with other communities still awaiting the return of relatives held by the group.
