B-R-E-A-K-I-N-G: Boko Haram Fighters Attack Two Villages In Adamawa

Less than 24 hours after some hunters and civilian vigilantes reportedlyousted Boko Haram fightersfrom Mubi town in Adamawa State, latest reports say the insurgents invaded two other towns in the state. The home of a retired military general was also attacked where the militants raised their black flag outside the home.It was gathered that Islamist militants raided Hong and Gombi, some 100 kilometres (62.5 miles) from the state capital, Yola, after they were pushed out of the commercial hub of Mubi, which they seized two weeks ago, AFP reports.
Prior to this latest attack, the terrorists were believed to have captured more than two dozen towns in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states in recent months.
But despite apparently losing control of Mubi, which the Islamists renamed Madinatul Islam or“City of Islam”in Arabic, the invasion of Hong and Gombi saw them move closer to Yola.
Thousands of residents have been taking refuge in Yola from the terror attacks going on in Adamawa.Speaking on the development, aresident of Gombi, Haruna Awwalu, informed that Boko Haram insurgents were patrolling the streets, firing heavy weaponry.
