Defence Headquarters claimed that the Nigerian army regained control over the recently captured Gombi, Pelia and Hong.
It would be recalled that the Adamawa towns were reportedly captured last week as Boko Haram insurgents launched another set of attack in an attempt to seize more territories in the North-East.
Gombi residents narrated after the raid that the terrorists were patrolling the streets and firing heavy weaponry.
Further reports confirmed the development adding that both sides, army and insurgents, suffered losses in the fierce clashes for Gombi and Hong, located close to the state capital Yola.
However today, November 19, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters took to its Twitter account to announce that the military managed to reclaim the 3 towns.
According to the information made available, they also killed many terrorists and recovered weaponry.
It comes a week after the military recaptured Chibok town, sadly famous for the abduction of more than 200 school girls in April.
