#BokoHaram capture another town in Adamawa, as soldiers flee

by Kolapo Olapoju

 

Boko Haram insurgents have captured Maiha town, in Adamawa State.

Maiha town is about 25 kilometres from Mubi town, which was captured about two weeks ago.

Residents of the captured town, who were escaping, said they saw many soldiers running away from the area, with some of them begging the fleeing residents to give them a ride in their vehicles.

A resident, Mr John Paul said.”The insurgents started trooping into the town around 6pm and started firing shots into the area as soldiers, who had advanced to the area in their bid to recapture Mubi, started running away, allowing the insurgents to capture the town.”

Another fleeing resident, Mr Mahmud Garba, claimed that some of the fleeing soldiers had asked him to give them civilian clothes in order not to be spotted by the insurgents.

Garba said, “The fleeing soldiers asked us to give them our clothes so that they can camouflage and escape from the area safely as some of them had discarded their weapons in the bush. A lot of the discarded weapons are currently lying in the bush.”

“The insurgents did not encounter any challenge as they stormed the town in APCs and Toyota Hilux vans, firing shots into different directions as they chanted songs of victory. Many of the residents fled into the bush. Some of them are feared killed by stray bullets. The insurgents also hoisted their flags in strategic places in the town.”

    1. Nonsense, is selling of 419 cars more important to you than the sad news in that subject. You are among the enemies of nigeria.

  2. bokoharam are not rill muslim oh god help our naition

  3. Don’t blame the retreating Soldiers! war is all about sophisticated weapons, how can you challege enemies wielding APC, GPMG, RPG with a mere Ak47? Where generals are in offices, generals are knwon in Field but Nig generals are only office generals!

  4. It is cowardice, no more no less. Forget the excuses of insurgents being better armed. Are they ‘better’ armed with weapons seized from the nigerian army? The nigerian army is very weak, VERY!

  5. Unbelievable, what is going on with Nigeria army,Is it sabotage or cawardice,something is wrong some where, how can a combatant soldier flee from enemy.
