Families and non-military staff residing in two major military barracks in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, are being evacuated after Islamist insurgents dropped letters announcing their plan to take the most important city in Nigeria’s northeast region.
The letters were dropped at the gates of Giwa and Maimalari military barracks as well as different parts of the city of Maiduguri.
Several soldiers also told SaharaReporters that some of their colleagues had fled the barracks after the letters were circulated amongst military personnel yesterday. A military officer at Defense Headquarters in Abuja said he was not aware of any desertions. The letter detailing the planned attack on Maiduguri was written in the Hausa language. [b]It specifies that Boko Haram’s unpredictable leader, Abubakar Shekau, planned to personally lead insurgent fighters to attack Maimalari, the more formidable of the two barracks, and to fight to the death as a martyr. “Soldiers are moving their wives and children out because they should not be there if a battle begins,” a security source said. Boko Haram appears emboldened by its success in
capturing Bama, the second largest city in Borno State. The Nigerian army and officials of Borno State were so rattled by the insurgents’ seizure of Bama that they claimed for two days that the town remained under Nigerian troops’ control. However, a senior official of the Borno State government told SaharaReporters yesterday that there was no doubt that Bama had fallen to the insurgents. A senior United States official also acknowledged the capture of the town by insurgents, and disclosed that the US would provide logistical assistance to the Nigerian government to help secure Maiduguri. Yesterday, the Islamist terrorists began an apparent push towards Maiduguri by killing some 30 people near Kawuri town. They now have just an army checkpoint in Konduga standing between them and Maiduguri, a city with more than two million
residents.

Pathetic.

We are getting to that point slowly.

We de wait..may that day never come.

Uhmmmmm

How is that possible? But this government said they are winning the war? The are running and evacuating yet they say they are winning the war?

Nigerians in Nairaland boko haram recruits are using nairaland to promote their group,and you dummies believe everything u hear online.

These terrorists are busy atacking from place to place,they are not occupying anywhere-they are insurgents.

You must be a BH apologist to be re-circulating falsehood on Nairaland.


If Bama has indeed fallen to BH, we will not be hearing it from you but from Shekau himself who will not hesitate to release his conquest on You tube.


Since you have chosen to believe our common enemy and their chief propagandist- sahara reporters, than your military, well the choice is yours but please stop being an ALARMIST!!

You see!

A destroyed country.

go and die nicca

I can't really believe that this cowardly slowpoke, Shitnola, Sonola or whatever his Slimy name once called Nigeria home, ate our food and drank our water but now finds it convenient to use his useless ShariaReporters to cheerlead the destruction of our homeland and the murder of our compatriots?

This slimy, syphilitic, maggot and his daft site needs to be shut down, ASAP.

I thought they insisted Bama is under Army control? Yet even soldiers are evacuating their families from Maiduguri where the HQ of an army division resides?

These animals get nerve sha .... warning they are coming to take over 7 Div (in short, "Army, get ready whatever you have" )

BTW, the pressure Sahara Reporters is piling may just be what will force Nigeria to act before we have another ISIS threatening Abuja
