Suspected Boko Haram Militants Take Over Town In Nigeria - Gimbiya - 11-26-2017 Suspected Boko Haram Militants Take Over Town In Nigeria Suspected members of Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, took over a town in the restive state of Borno in northeast Nigeria on Saturday, residents said. The attack comes days after a suicide bomber killed at least 50 people at a mosque in neighbouring Adamawa state in one of the deadliest attacks since President Muhammadu Buhari came to power in 2015 pledging to end the eight-year insurgency. Residents said attackers entered Magumeri, around 50 km (30 miles) from Borno state capital Maiduguri, around 7:00 p.m. (1800 GMT). They said the insurgents shot sporadically and threw explosive devices, prompting locals to flee to a forest. We hurriedly took our families to the bushes before they could get us. Almost every resident is hiding here,” said Wakil Bulama, one of two residents who spoke to Reuters by telephone. (Reuters) |
