A combined team of local hunters, civilian JTF and the Nigerian soldiers on Wednesday night launched a fierce battle against Boko Haram insurgents and recaptured Mubi and its environ, which had earlier fell into the hands of the sect.
Reports from Mubi also indicated that five Nigerian Armoured Personnel Carriers, seized by the dreaded Islamists in the area, were recovered when the insurgents fled the town.
A source in Mubi indicated that there were jubilation as people were seen trooping out to show solidarity with the local hunters and the civilian JTF.
No fewer than 100 Boko Haram members were said to have been either killed or injured by the hunters.
The source further disclosed that the 234 Army Battalion as well as other security formations in the area, which fell into the hands of the insurgents, had been recovered and the soldiers were seen trooping in and out of the barracks and taking strategic positions.
Our correspondent learnt that all the flags hoisted by the insurgents in some government quarters were destroyed and replaced by the Nigerian flags while the Emir’s palace converted to the sect’s “Madinatul Islam” has now been taken over by the Nigerian team.
Other sources said the development had given the people hope that the insurgents would be completely chased out of Mubi, Michika, and Madagali. All these council areas had fallen into the hands of insurgents.
Adamawa State Governor Bala James Ngillari said in Yola on Thursday that the insurgents had been flushed out of Mubi. He said the government thanked those who risked their lives to confront the insurgents.
“This is time for all of us to rejoice as the success recorded in the fight against Boko Haram insurgents is the handwork of God,” he said.

DeleteWhen is this going ro stop? To we hear the insurgent has taken over town or villages on north east and Iin another repor a counter take over by nigeria military. We don't kmow what to believe anymore. Our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, children and properties are being killed and destroyed, all, in the name of politics. Nigerian wakeup.
ReplyDeleteI have reasons to believe that this feat was achieved solely by the "civilian JTF" and the "local hunters", with our military coming in after the end of the battle. Our polimilitary generals and service chiefs should be sacked and probed.
