The Nigerian army has recaptured the north-eastern town of Mubi from militant Islamist group Boko Haram, the state governor has said.
Mubi was the biggest town under the group's control and is the first it has lost since August, when it declared a caliphate in areas it had seized.
Boko Haram still controls several towns and villages in north-eastern Nigeria.
Boko Haram last month dismissed the government's claims to have agreed a ceasefire.
The militants seized Mubi, the second largest town in the north-eastern Adamawa state, in October, renaming it Madinatul Islam - City of Islam.
Residents there said militants imposed Islamic Sharia law and carried out executions and amputations.
A very Big thanks to the Nigerian Army
