My Mubi under siege, still can't believe it, three of my Cousins are still unaccounted for,

BlackTechnology:



Keep deceiving yourself that it is a national problem

Other parts of Nigeria are progressing while others are busy destroying their region for a worthless reason

berem:
Some of these saTANists are very heartless! They forgot that Mubi is a town also populated by other ethnic groups. My friend's husband just came back from Mubi last week on an official assignment. He will be shocked that a town he left some days ago is under seige by Boko Haram.
God please protect your children!

cupidhero:

it is a national problem,infact it is a big problem,the whole ish worries me more than anything,give me lamboghini aventador and i'm still worried.some of us here has never seen violence that why we come here and say crap.these are humanbeings and not robots,they have emotions like all of us.

major466:
I think it's high time federal government forget about the cease fire agreement with the terrorists. Root them out. Kill them all!!!
Some evil elements trying hard to frustrate the negotiations for the release of the Chibok School Girls.

Ibnsultan:
Oh dear Lord #Mubi is taken.

sleekp1:

Bros na north wahala, when you people are ready for it to stop it will stop. The ragtag terrorists wouldn't have this brazen impunity if not for local support.
The war in Aghanistan couldn't be won by the USA, Britain, France, etc because of the local support they get. Even America can't defeat boko haram if it has tacit support amongst its populace. When you people are ready to stop it, let me know.

diluminati:
really, nigerians are crazy and many are under the spell of the evil ones. you mean in this same country, territories are taken over by terrorists for years and the people are not calling for Jonathan to be IMPEACHED? for real you nigerians are crazy

I recognise as a Southerner that most Southerners do not really care about the sufferings of people up North and GEJ's nonchallance, apart from his being out of his depth, partly reflects this.

What I still don't get is why Northern politicians are almost as indifferent as the typical Southerner. People are facing the most unimaginable suffering conceivable
but there seems to be muted reactions to the crisis.

[size=18pt]Boko Haram: Heavy Fighting in Mubi as Military Reinforcement Stalls Terrorists’ Advance[/size]

Army barracks sacked

As confusion continues to reign over the status of ceasefire agreement between the federal government and the Boko Haram sect, there is a raging battle between the military and suspected members of the terrorist organisation for the control of the strategic town of Mubi, Adamawa State.

According to a military source, heavy exchange of fire was ongoing at the time of this report on Wednesday as the security forces battled to retake some of sections of the town, including the 234 Battalion Army headquarters reportedly captured earlier in the afternoon by the terrorists.

[size=16pt]It was reported that the military guarding the barracks, after some feeble resistance , fled the scene when more militants arrived in the area with heavy firepower.[/size]

Meanwhile, all efforts to get both the Director of Defence Information (DDI), Maj-Gen. Chris Olukolade, and Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Brig-Gen. Olajide Laleye, to either confirm or comment on the matter proved abortive as text messages were not replied.

However, a senior military personnel who spoke with THISDAY has described the actions of the soldiers as a shameful act of cowardice deserving punishment.

The source disclosed that the military authorities had since sent a reinforcement to flush out the insurgents.

The source said: “This acts of indiscipline and cowardice is quite unfortunate and shameful when the troops are well equipped with improved welfare.

“Troops from other places are being deployed to confront the marauders.”

Fortunately, the source said, the reinforcement had helped to stop the terrorists advance and would ultimately reverse the losses.

Also, several residents of Uba town in Adamawa State were on Wednesday reportedly killed by Boko Haram insurgents as many other residents fled to neighbouring towns.

A security source who confirmed the attack in Uba town said after the insurgents had an encounter with the Nigerian troops in a fierce battle, they split into groups as some of them headed to Uba and some others went towards Mubi.

About noon, there was serious battle going on between the Nigerian troops and the insurgents in Mubi, and according to the source, the insurgents were fighting hard to overrun the military barracks in Mubi.

He said the development had caused a pandemonium in the affected areas: adding “Presently there are gunshots and bombardment close to the military barracks in Mubi. Mubi has now become a ghost of its former self, people in hundreds are fleeing for their lives.”

However, another source in Mubi said it was the soldiers who were shooting into the air to scare away insurgents who were believed to have sneaked into Mubi town.

A source from Uba, Ahmadu Bello, said: “We are in serious trouble, these boys (Boko Haram) have taken our towns, splitting in groups with some advancing towards Mararraban Mubi and Vintim the home town of Chief of Defense Staff, Alex Badeh, giving Nigerian troops a hot fight as soldiers retreated back to Mubi.

“As I am talking to you now, residents are scampering for their lives for fear of imminent attack and uncertainty.

“While pursuing the soldiers, the insurgents shot sporadically on innocent residents, during which five persons were instantly killed by the insurgents.

“The town is now deserted, people have all fled into nearby bushes and hilltops.We have seen soldiers in their vehicles retreating,” he said.

Another source said the Boko Haram insurgents over-ran Madagali down to Bazza. “They are having field day, even yesterday I sneaked into Michika town to evacuate my aged mother, but surprisingly only insurgents could be seenmoving around, no presence of soldiers,” the some said.

Also, a fleeing resident from Uba, who identified himself as Mallam Yakuba said the insurgents overran the area at the early hours of yesterday in their hundreds and started shooting sporadically at the residents, resulting in the death of undisclosed numbers of people.

He said he gathered that the insurgents split themselves into smaller groups, “some of them came to Uba town, while others advanced toward Mararaban Mubi , through Vintim village to Dumo, close to the Republic of Cameroun.”

Another fleeing resident from Uba, Mr. Gajere Ambrose, said several people might have been killed during the shooting spree that lasted for almost two hours in Uba.

Confirming the incident, the state governor, Bala James Ngillari, has asked the people of the state, particularly those in the affected areas to remain calm as security agents are on the top of the situation.

The governor made the disclosure through his Press Director, Mr. P P Elisha, saying that the development was unfortunate while empathising with the people affected.

He said, “His Excellency, has met with security chiefs in the state and has made frantic efforts to bring the situation under control.

“People should remain calm, security agents are on the top of situation,’’ Elisha said.
