The Boko Haram terrorist group on Friday recaptured Marte, a border town in the northern part of Borno State.
Security sources said members of the terrorist group, who fled Sambisa forest, had now regrouped in Marte.
Borno State Deputy Governor, Alhaji
Zannah Mustapha, also confirmed the recapture of the town by Boko Haram
terrorists during a press conference in Maiduguri.
Mustapha raised the alarm that 600 women
and girls had been dispatched by the terrorists as suicide bombers with
the aim of causing multiple explosions in Maiduguri.
The deputy governor urged residents to
be patient with the security agencies in spite of the attendant
hardships caused by the dusk to dawn curfew imposed on Maiduguri.
The capture of Marte happened as soldiers sustained the 24-hour curfew
imposed on Maiduguri, the Borno state capital on Thursday after Boko
Haram terrorists attempted an invasion of the city on Wednesday night.
