A report monitored on Sahara Reporters says suspected members of the dreaded Boko Haram terrorist sect entered Mubi town in Adamawa State today and took control of the Army Headquarters of the 234 Battalion in the town.
The troops guarding the barracks reportedly initially exchanged fire with the terrorists but fled after they realized they were outnumbered by the militants and their heavy firepower.
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. 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 stuffs.
