THOUSANDS FLEE MUBI, BADEH’S TOWN SACKED

Boko Haram militants tightened their grip on Mubi yesterday, forcing thousands of people to flee to other parts of Adamawa State.
The insurgents marched on the state’s second-largest town on Wednesday, driving in about 14 trucks.
Mubi, a commercial hub, is home to about 151,000 people, according to the 2006 census.

Witnesses said Boko Haram fighters yesterday went round some streets, proclaiming a new government based on Islamic law. They told people to cooperate with the new regime.

The militants also engaged in killings, looting and arson. They set the main market on fire, looted banks, and occupied the palace of the Emir of Mubi.

A resident said they broke into the home of the District Head of Mubi, Alhaji Yarima Bello, and beheaded his son, Ibrahim, a judiciary staff.
Mubi market association chairman, Alhaji Abdulkadir Musa, told Daily Trust by telephone that the assailants set fire to sections of the market and looted some shops.

“The boys set ablaze shops dealing in secondhand clothes and looted others,” he said.

Musa said fleeing residents were dispossessed of their cellphone SIM cards before being allowed to leave.

“They blocked the road at Buladega, urging people not to leave, that they were not going to be attacked. They did not stop anyone from leaving, but collected peoples’ phones and removed the SIM cards,” he said.

A witness told Daily Trust that a Boko Haram militant mocked residents over their reliance on security forces for protection, saying the insurgents seized the town without much resistance.

“They have been rather boastful,” the man said by telephone from outside Mubi.
“A commander bragged that very soon they are taking Yola with the ease they captured Mubi and that government purchased weapons at high cost only for them to seize the arms.”

He said most of low-ranking insurgents he saw are teenagers.
“I just left the town, these Boko Haram boys cannot withstand a determined battalion of trained soldiers,” he said.
“Most of them are carrying AK 47. Some use rocket launchers but they do not have the type of armoured vehicles our soldiers deployed recently.”

Stranded in the bush
Scared residents have been trooping out of the town since Wednesday. Thousands trekked in different directions yesterday, fearing for their lives.
Many people have been stranded in the bush along Mubi-Maiha-Pella road, with others crossing into Cameroon through the border town of Dumo. The border is about 30 kilometres from Mubi.

“I passed by at least 6,000 people including the sick with bandages and plasters to their arms and legs, all of them trekking to Maiha, some left through Gyala,” a village chief told Daily Trust.

“Some were heading for Cameroon through Dumo; it is pathetic. Please let our leaders act.”

James Audu, a student, told Reuters news agency: “I saw many dead bodies in the bush and many injured people were lying helpless especially children and women. They killed a lecturer and his entire family. I saw them get shot (in Mubi).”

Stephen Adaji, also a student, said he had been hiding in the bush since mid-morning on Wednesday when the fighting began until a farmer helped him cross to a nearby village and he fled to the nearest city of Yola.

“We couldn’t sleep in the bush because of the fear Boko Haram may get us,” he said. “We were so scared, shooting was going on throughout the night.”

Daily Trust learnt that hundreds of soldiers who fled Mubi have converged at a town about 60 kilometers away, with dozens of vans and many armoured vehicles.

The soldiers manned check points in the area with fleeing residents complaining that the checkpoints delay them unnecessarily.

Many people who fled Mubi on Wednesday were yet to reach Yola by yesterday evening, as only those who left in their personal cars or were picked up by trucks conveying cattle made it.

Many children separated from their parents during the stampede that followed the Boko Haram attack on Wednesday.
A man at the NYSC Orientation camp in Girei said he separated from his 14-year old younger sister, his elder brother and sister in-law when an explosive narrowly missed their vehicle, forcing them to stop and ran in different directions.

“I was able to make contact with my brother who is still in the bush but none of us heard about the girl. I hope she did not run back to Mubi. My prayer is she escaped with other people to the bush,” he said.

Another displaced man, Abdullahi Alai, said he did not know the whereabouts of his two sons and wife after fleeing when Boko Haram struck.

He said he fled Mubi in his car around 6pm Wednesday and drove overnight to Yola. He said thousands of worn-out people made brief stop-overs at different villages to beg for food before resuming their trek towards the state capital.

Adamu Mohammed, who also fled to Yola yesterday, said hundreds of people trekked to Hong, over 50 kilometres away. “The entire road was covered by human beings, herding out to Hong, like a group of sheep,” he said. Our correspondent reported that the number of displaced people at the NYSC camp in Yola has surged as people from Mubi file in to register.

Executive Secretary of the state emergency agency ADSEMA, Haruna Furo, said hundreds of people were registered at the camp over the past 24 hours. The number of people at the camp stands at 6,800 as at yesterday.

A spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in the North-East, Abdul Ibrahim, told Reuters the agency had sent extra personnel to help manage people fleeing to Yola.

He said an attack on Uba just hours before the one on Mubi on Wednesday had forced 4,000 people who were in a displaced persons camp to vacate the camp and head for Yola.

Meanwhile, reports yesterday said the insurgents attacked Vimtim, the hometown of Chief of Defence Staff Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh.

A former Mubi North Local Government chairman, John Kwale Vimtim, told the BBC Hausa radio: “They attacked Vimtim this morning (yesterday) and they went straight to the Chief of Defence Staff’s house. They did not kill or attack anybody in the house.

“There is nobody in the house at the time, because… all the people of Vimtim had already deserted the town” following the attack on Mubi.
Sources told Daily Trust that hundreds of fighters took over the village, located about 15 kilometres from Mubi.

Military sources said reinforcement was being sent to the state, through the Yola airport, to push back the attackers.

A local who fled Mubi yesterday said soldiers’ “withdrawal” from the area on Wednesday was a measure to give Air Force jets the freehand to engage the insurgents.

Pathetic

hmm

GEJ is too busy with re-election matters, he does not give a damn.


Mubi people, take note: YOU ARE STRICTLY ON YOUR OWN!

There is a place called Hong in Adamawa, are they related to Hong Kong of China?

Yes Sir

Tambuwal is busy defecting and planning to be governor.
Boko haram will catch him there.

ibe9ja:

Yes Sir

Datz nice

tit:
Tambuwal is busy defecting and planning to be governor.
Boko haram will catch him there.

Yes, because tambuwal is the commander in chief that swore an oath to protect Nigerians.

Such a m0r0nic post.

When we have a military with a vast majority of the officers whose allegiance is not to the Nation but to their Caliphate this is what you get.

The Military has so much bokos in them especially among the officer cadre than there is dirt on the streets of Tora Bora.

But what should be of real moral lesson is how these northern muslim officers see nothing wrong in seeing their backyard burn and their people killed to ensure that a kafir is not elected president ever again.

Meanwhile, the ignorant southwest is entering an alliance with these people.

Boko haram members are fighting for justice. Who said this?
(a) Sani Abacha
(b) Bamanga Tukur.
(c). Rotimi Amechi.
(d). Musa Yaradua.

In a saner clime,
Some battalion heads, commanders and generals would have lost their jobs by now.

Where is Mr. President?
Another town has fallen o, is he waiting for them to start knocking at the door of abuja?
If that happens, does he think he will move the capital of Nigeria to Otuoke?

Madness all around in this country!

For you?

You ain't worth the trouble

In recent times we have watched our country turn into a state not so enviable, people taking the lifes of others. Politicians clamouring for positions at all cost, why do we still want to vote this same set of people(GEJ-who has acted slower than mikel obilis in taking strategic and day-to-day decisions? or Buhari, the same man who promised the nation bloodshed. Let us put sentiments aside and look for leaders who can profer lasting solutions to these problems. Boko Haram have sponsors, lets go for the spider and the webs will no form.

If I had the means, I would have sponsored the Refugees to come to Abuja and set camp at Central Area!
GEJ prolly thinks Mubi is a little village on the camerounian border!

donMt be surprised to hear GEJ say 'Where is mubi sef ' that man has fail us all

haba! Don't you know him? Don't bother quoting that idi.ot...he is just as clueless and retarded as his boss.

Tellytubby CDS..does he look competent to you?

Sad....

Somehow the military will find a way to blame the residents for this misfortune. What Nigerian politicians do not understand treating bh with kids glove continues endangering democracy! What happened to our military? If ordinary militants in Kobane, Syria have held ISIL back for so long why would our military melt away so easy to a bunch of riff rafs? GEJ failes to understand that everytime Nigerians suffer as a result of his incompetence, he has a case to answer with God!

God bless you. Until the northern elders come together and assist FG to fight boko haram, am sorry more northern towns and villages will have to go

People are still arriving in their hundreds, the IDPs camp in Girei is over stretched, there is need for another camp to cater for the overflow. Also there is fear of an outbreak of disease.
