Nigerian soldiers are turning back fleeing residents of Mubi in
Adamawa State as they engage Boko Haram insurgents in an attempt to
regain the town.
The soldiers are also said to be engaging in a fierce battle with
members of the sect all through Sunday night and Monday morning to
regain full control of Michika.
Fighter jets are bombing the hideouts of the insurgents while foot
soldiers battle their locations around Michika local government area
secretariat.
Executive Director of Stefanos, Mr. Mark Lipdo, quoting military
sources in the battle field, said that the military are turning back
Nigerians running out of Mubi in reaction to the news of insurgents
approaching Mubi town.
A curfew is now in place to enable the military restore order as
reports say that the military are gaining ground over the insurgents.
