Boko Haram Islamists have recaptured the strategic town of Marte in northeastern Nigeria, a regional official said early on Saturday.
"It is sad as we have been made to understand that Marte has today completely fallen under the control of the insurgents, which to us is a very huge setback," said Mustapha Zannah, vice governor of the Borno state.
