Boko Haram militants have entered Mubi in Adamawa State, taking over the headquarters of the 234 battalion in the town, which is one of the State’s largest.



Suspected Boko Haram members

The action comes just months after they took Michika and several of Adamawa’s other important towns.

Residents and fleeing troops told SaharaReporters that the militants arrived around noon after successfully attacking neighboring towns in an overwhelming attack that began last night.

Nigerian troops guarding the barracks initially exchanged fire with the militants but fled after more militants arrived in the area with heavy firepower.

It was an embarrasing sight as hundreds of soldiers were allegedly seen fleeing the town of Mubi in Adamawa State because of strong indications that Boko Haram insurgents were making advances to take over the town.

Bazza, Gulak, Michika and Madagali had all been initially captured in Adamawa state by Boko Haram. I just pray that this report isnt true. Mubi must not fall. Mubi is the biggest commercial hub of Adamawa state, the Adamawa state university is also at Mubi. #prayformubi

It's becoming more apparent as the days go by that this boko nonsense has popular local support and sympathy! They never seem to finish, and frequently are making spectacular mind-boggling military gains!

Nigerians can now see Jonathan's masterstroke in appointing Alex Badeh as CDS.
If the CDS cannot keep his hometown from falling into Boko Haram Caliphate, he only has himself to blame.

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.

How did Badeh make it to general staff (red neck) if he is ineffective and lousy.
Anyway, the AHQ is not serious.
The NA is used to fighting enmass.
When 1, 2 and 82 Divisons are moved to the NE theatre, then I shall know they want to crush BH.
However in effective, Badeh is, if he makes Mubi his field headquaters, the other service chiefs would have no options but to beef up security there.

Military Chiefs that President Jona is supposed to put on the hot seat or fire them and put more intelligent ones there.

Instead, he was busy patting them on the back and showering them with national awards. Imagine that! I have neva heard of such before. Giving awards to military chiefs that lost territory to ragtag enemies.

Smh for Nigeria

Sadly, I think this may actually be true, Punch is reporting something similar as well
