Boko Haram Chases Military Out Of Mubi, Adamawa State
Suspected
members of Boko Haram entered Mubi town, the second biggest town in
Adamawa state earlier today and took over the army headquarters of the

report seeing soldiers fleeing the town in droves. Inhabitants that
were not fortunate enough to escape the town report that they are now
trapped in the city as there is no movement in or out of the town.

According to
residents of the villages, the sect men arrived in the early hours,
shooting at them, burning buildings and forcefully took away their food
stuff.
