Seizure of Adamawa State second largest town Mubi was allegedly carried out by only 64 Boko Haram militants.
It would be recalled that hundreds of Nigerian soldiers fled Mubi
moments after the attack, which move caused public outrage and even
arrests of top commanders for abandoning the town.
The escaped resident narrated how Boko Haram stormed the town.
“Some of them [militants] went to a cleric and lectured him
extensively. They told the cleric that they were able to capture the
town so easily because what they stand for was the right path. They told
him that only 64 of them launched attack on Mubi and captured the town
eventually. The boys (Boko Haram) told the cleric that only seven people
were left to handle the town’s military barrack.”
