Boko Haram consolidates in captured towns, assures Adamawa residents of better security under its reign

Boko Haram has asked the displaced residents of communities it took over in Adamawa state to return to their homes.

The terrorist group assured the residents of better security in the “Islamic Caliphate than in Nigerian territories”.

A resident of Uba town, Salisu Baba, said normal activities have started picking up in the captured territories as Boko Haram enjoined residents to go about their normal activities and open their shops for business.

Mr. Baba said the insurgents have assured them of security and freedom.

He said unlike in other parts of the state where curfew has been imposed and people prevented from riding motorcycles, the insurgents have assured residents of free movement at anytime of the day.

“(The terrorists) are threatening that anyone who fails to open their shop will have it broken into,” he said.

The Deputy Governor of Borno state, Zanna Mustapha, had said in Yola on Monday that going by the ease with which Boko Haram was capturing territories in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, the three North-Eastern states would soon be history. ...PremiumTimes
