Boko Haram Eyes Yola As Hong Andgombi Falls by Franceska(f): 9:33am On Nov 16, 2014
The township of Hong and Gombi in Adamawa state
were sacked and occupied by Boko Haram militants
today as Nigerian troops protecting the townships
fled due to superior firepower of the militants.
In Hong township, the militants took over the town and
burnt down a police station and homes of notable
indigenes.
Nigerian troops leaving Maiha in droves as Boko
Haram fighters approach
The militants also arrived at Gombi and took over the
township in retaliation against Nigerian troops that earlier
drove them away from the town. The troops fled without
resistance.
Several residents of the towns have arrived in Yola, the
Adamawa state capital with gory tales of untold suffering,
death and injury visited upon their communities by the
rampaging militants. A Nigerian soldier who fled with
others told us that the militants have
regained control of Mubi and Maiha after several hunters
liberated the townships. I could not independently verify his claims. The capture of Gombi and Hong has sent jitters down the spine of residents of Yola the state capital. The militants are only some 100 kilometers from the state capital.
In recent videos, Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau had
vowed to capture the state capitals of several northeastern
states.

If US won't sell weapons to Nigeria

Let us challenge our best minds to build advanced weapons with the promise to give them the contract to

1) teach our military intellectuals

2) mass produced their weapons at DICON or any other industry within Nigeria.



I can beat my chest that someone in Nigeria can produced

1) a portable automatic rifle whose bullets can travel 3km
2) an attack helicopter
3) light fighter jet
4) Tanks
5)etc



I miss Ojukwu Biafra who used situations like this to showcase to the world that black race are not monkeys but humans with the best of minds.

I got a very disturbing SITREP this morning that contrary to media report, the city of Mubi is still in the control of Boko Haram. Hong and Gombi has also fallen and an assault against Yola is imminent

Aminu Gamawa was on AlJazeera yesterday and he attested to the report that Boko Haram have captured Hawul, Gombi and Hong. He was once a Nairalander but i have forgotten his moniker now. However, you can check out his twitter handle @aminugamawa

No
The person you are refering to is Aliyu Musa. The SSS guy is Mike Ejiofor, the former director of SSS while Makmid Kamara is an amnesty international agent. They appeared as guest on the NOV 5th edition of inside story.

Aminu Gamawa was featured during one of their news bulletin yesterday and he claimed that Mubi, Hawul, Hong & Gombi have been captured by Boko Haram

Tnks.that kamara guy is a bastard.i happen 2 know him personally.met hin in 2012.he is a big wimp.only finds courage behind camera's
The reason I have my doubts is.because I have a contact in mararaba.on the day maiha was claimed overun..he debunked the claim and told me dat it was certain villages on the outskirts..anoda yola resident confirmed.it .i just contact him a few minutes ago and he made me understand dat
*hong is still fluid(situation)
*gombi* bh was spotted there but were mostly loose infantry units on the run...engaged by combined teams of locals nd troops..
hawal situation cannot be verified by thia time..
Mubi in NA hands.
He compliained dat alot of rumour mongering was going on creating an atmosphere of fear nd misinformation..but in my usual manner I ask if any reliable source down in yola can verify or deny I will humbly retract my statement

With the kind of rubbish news spewed daily by SR I feel like taking my Camera and travel to North East to bring accurate stories so that some SR fans will see the truth and not this rubbish being spewed daily.

JUST IN:

Scores have been killed and many others injured as war is raging on in Alakio village of Nasarawa State. Reports say that Fulani herdsmen are presently ravaging the town.
A resident, who simply identified as Naphtali told
newsmen that there is no security presence in the area as
many residents are running to Nasarawa Eggon town for
safety.
