Boko Haram insurgents have captured another territory in
Yobe State on Wednesday after engaging in a fierce battle
over Bama, a town not far from Maiduguri in Borno State.
Reuters reported that the newly captured town was taken
over by the Islamist fighters without any resistance, with
witnesses saying that the town has no Nigerian troops
guarding it.
“They went preaching in the whole town asking people to
leave government work and join them to do the work of
Allah,” Musa Abdullahi, a trader who escaped from the town
of Bara said.
Meanwhile, the insurgents have killed two policemen after
an attack on Toro Local Government Area in Bauchi State.
The police officers were reportedly shot and killed and their
guns stolen by the attackers at a mining station in Magama
Gumau.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mohammed
Haruna, said he was aware of the killings but had not been
officially briefed.
