The Nigerian army has struggled to contain the increasingly aggressive attacks, the most recent of which occurred yesterday in Mubi, and left 24 dead and many, including former president Obasanjo's son, Lt. Col. Adeboye Obasanjo, gravely wounded. The militants also took an armored tank in the attack.

Captured by a resident of Mubi Junction, Adamawa State fleeing Boko Haram Monday, exclusive video has surfaced showing Nigerian soldiers and civilians fleeing a massive Boko Haram attack in Michika. The incident comes after a string of attacks by the deadly sect, who has attempted to establish an Islamic state in northeast Nigeria. The Nigerian army has struggled to contain the increasingly aggressive attacks, the most recent of which occurred yesterday in Mubi, and left 24 dead and many, including former president Obasanjo's son, Lt.

Speaking to Premium Times journalists yesterday via phone, a man who claimed to be a Boko Haram spokesperson alleged that the sect had taken Bama, Michika, and Mubi Junction, contrary to military reports.

“This is a rebuttal from the information dissemination and sensitization unit of the Jamaatul Ahlil Sunna Lidawati Wal Jihad (Boko Haram) on the series of lies that the Nigeria military have been feeding the world on our recent conquests. Let the whole world know that we are on the path of victory because up to this minute, the town of Bama is under our control, the whole of Michika is now in our hands, as well as Manalapan (Junction of) Mubi is now fully under our control," the spokesman said.

I really dont understand ... People are saying this is propaganda ... the comments i have seen so far is really depressing ... Are nigerians blind? dont we think? some people are saying they are escorting the civilians
"Why isnt the camera man interested in running away ?, the soldiers were escorting the civilians to safety. That should be obvious to even the blind" ................................... WTF?!?!?!

When you see a video like this ... there is no way it can be staged/ the seriousness of people running even Hollywood self ... Then see some other comments ... i was in total shock.

The Nigerian Army deserves commendation and support and not condemnation. Imagine for a second if they were not and BH were running riot everywhere? Right now, they are giving up their lives so we may live in our houses and pursue our dreams. They are humans and have families and dreams but not the peace to enjoy and pursue them. Just think

Then sahara show us the boko harams where they were chasing army because this might be the Armies going for their normal duties and you sahara reporters turn it upside down, Since you show the Armies running then show us the boko that r chasing them,

Why and what are the people recorded this still waiting for if that was bokoharam truly ? Hahahaha sahara reporters you have some questions to answer and it's becoming clearer that you people are part of bokoharam cooking up stories trying to deceive people , you're wasting your time and energy because you can't deceive someone like me . You can only get illiterates like the northerners. .... this one was just a big fool.

I can't see any fleeing soldiers?

Shame on you Sahara reporters . You should be supportive of men and women of our military and not mock them. Cowards!!!!! Even if they pulled back so what...Shame on you.
Cowards..bunch of lily livered cowards

This is total rush... All i can see is a normal movement of vehicle.. pls if u dont have anything meaningful 2 post online, stop exaggerating this Boko Haram thing............................................... SMDFH!!!!

I did not see any1 fleeing, no atmosphere of urgency in that pix, and how can we be sure that pix was taken in Adamawa? What would the 'camera man' be doing if the soldiers and other civilians are running for their dear lives? Let us try be objective and convincing in our reportage

I wonder if people actually watched the video before commenting.Nothing in this video showed that the soldiers were fleeing boko haram.

Why has Sahara Reporters become a harbinger of negativity and false information just to paint the Fed Govt black. From the looks in the video, there Is no panic movement, neither is there tension.

Sahara Desert is anti Nigeria! What is the reason of you this Sahara nonsense showing us the video of moving vehicles going on their activities of the day. Who was the one that took the video that stood behind filming while others were fleeing for their lives if that happened to be true? You this nonsense Sahara kilimanjaro ought to be probe by Nigerian Government and you need to answer Niger which side are you boko haram or Nigeria?

fake video by saharaAPCreporters.regular convoy of people going about their normal business. APC bunch of LIARS

Your statement is wrong, you are not soldier and you don't comment on what you don't know..in your video there is no panic. There is what we call tactical withdrawal to read the enemy properly. I believe you are an agent of the sect.

The army might have had information that boko haram was somewhere and was rushing to attack them which is clear by the way they are rushing but Sahara reports has claimed they are running away from bokoharam , quack used reporters , you think you are talking to fools, you Sahara reporters will meet your waterloo soon.

This video is clear a propaganda piece against the Nigerian state. The video in itself show absolutely nothing. It time government investigated Sahara Reporters to determine really in whose interest it works for. Clearly this news channel is against the Nigerian state and its people

Amin Ahmed Mohd pls its high time u people stop all this or noncense statements about the fed rep of Nigeria just bcus a northerner or Muslim is not the president. Let me assure u and or sponsors that we will get out of this your devilish killings tru book haram and GEJ Wii triumph in 2015 bcus u can't stop him.also sahara reporters are terrorists themselves and the law will soon catch up with all of u.remember nemesis idiots

I've watched the video over and over can't see army fleeing rather I see people driving out of town, not even a military van was spotted. Sahara reporters shame on you for your support for Boko haram ........................................... YOU'VE GOT TO BE FUQn KIDIN ME!!!!!


I cant go on ... Even if this video is a lie or from Senegal or Mali ... I will just pray instead ... because this kind of talk has been happening since even when they took Bama, government said they where in control ... and ALOT of civilians said contrary ... Jesus! I just remembered i used to have a friend from school who was from there ... Guji Bama! Eyaaaaa! But guys seriously! Abeg! Let us pray for Nigeria! I urge u guys please! Christian or Muslim. If we civilians cant fight Boko haram physically ... we can do it Spiritually ...

Secondly ... i comment Nigeria the way they handled Ebola Virus ... I AM PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN! God bless Nigerians! God bless and protect Nigeria! We really are great people.

The video is real Nigerian Army And Civilians Fleeing Boko Haram
