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 234 battalion in the town.

The troops guarding the barracks reportedly initially exchanged fire with the sect men but fled after they realized they were outnumbered by the militants and their heavy firepower. Eyewitnesses 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.

In a related development, the sect members are reported to have attacked Uba and Hildi towns and other locations in Borno and Adamawa states this morning Oct. 29th. 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.
