BOKO HARAM AGAIN!! Boko Haram Attack Two Villages In Adamawa

Less than 24 hours after some hunters and civilian vigilantes reportedly ousted Boko Haram fighters from Mubi town in Adamawa State, latest reports say the insurgents invaded two other towns in the state.

 

Two Villages In Adamawa According to AFP report, the home of a retired military general was also attacked where the militants raised their black flag outside the home. It was gathered that Islamist militants raided Hong and Gombi, some 100 kilometres (62.5 miles) from the state capital, Yola, after they were pushed out of the commercial hub of Mubi, which they seized two weeks ago. Prior to this latest attack, the terrorists were believed to have captured more than two dozen towns in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states in recent months. But despite apparently losing control of Mubi, which the Islamists renamed Madinatul Islam or “City of Islam” in Arabic, the invasion of Hong and Gombi saw them move closer to Yola. Thousands of residents have been taking refuge in Yola from the terror attacks going on in Adamawa. Speaking on the development, a resident of Gombi, Haruna Awwalu, informed that Boko Haram insurgents were patrolling the streets, firing heavy weaponry. Another resident, Rabi Tanimu, said people were cowering indoors and many had fled into the bush. “They have burnt down the police station, the local government secretariat and the market after overpowering the police, ” Awwalu said. It was gathered that a police station was razed in Hong, 20 kilometres away from Gombi.
