Nigeria Army Retakes Key Town by abdulwizzy(m): 7:05am On Sep 09, 2014
The Nigerian army has recaptured the
northeastern town of Bama from Boko Haram
Takfiri militants and blocked their advance
towards Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state.
A government official said on Monday that the
militants had been driven out of Bama, located 70
kilometers (45 miles) southeast of Maiduguri.
"Bama has been recaptured by the soldiers and I
can confirm to you Maiduguri is safe," the official
stated.
The government forces are also fighting a
southwards push into neighbouring Adamawa
state by Boko Haram, said the unnamed official
added.
A number of residents and businessmen from
Bama also confirmed that soldiers were in control
of the flashpoint town.
Thousands of civilians have fled the recent
offensive by the Takfiri group.
Meanwhile, the key northeastern town of Michika
has been captured by Boko Haram, the fleeing
residents said.
People fled into bushes as gunfire rang out in the
town which had been under attack since Sunday,
they added.
On Saturday, the militants took Gulak, an
administrative headquarters of Adamawa state as
the nearby towns of Duhu, Shuwa and Kirshinga
fell in assaults over Friday night and Saturday,
witnesses said.
