Boko Haram Captures Another Borno Town,hoists Flag by DAVECENA(m): 10:11pm On Oct 19, 2014
Suspected members of the terrorist sect, Boko
Haram, have captured another Borno town,
Abadam, after laying a massive siege to it.
It was gathered from security sources that
over 100 heavily armed suspected Boko Haram
members, in a convoy of Toyota Hilux vans and
motorcycles, invaded the town.
The terrorists group was also alleged to have
attacked the town in the North of troubled
Borno State with Improvised Explosives
Devices and petrol-bombs on Saturday night
before it was captured.
They had on Friday evening, few hours after
the Federal Government announced that a
ceasefire had been agreed with the terrorist
sect, attacked a neighbouring town of Abadam,
Mallam Fatori, where they were alleged to have
killed 10 persons.
Mallam Fatori, is a Nigerian border town with
Niger Republic and few kilometres from
Abadam.
It was learnt that the sect, as in other places
they had captured, hoisted its black and white
flag and had started moves to declare the town
another Islamic caliphate.
A resident of the area, who called journalists in
Maiduguri on the telephone on Sunday, said
with the capture and occupation of Abadam,
the black and white flag of Boko Haram, were
hoisted in three strategic locations in the town.
Some Borno towns and communities under the
control of the sect include Dikwa, Gwoza,
Marte, Damboa, Banki, Bama, Wulgo, Kirenowa
and over a dozen border villages.
Abadam is second largest town to Baga in
Northern Borno and 265 kilometres north of
Maiduguri, the state capital.
One of the residents of Abadam, who fled to
Maiduguri, told journalists on the telephone,
“Boko Haram gunmen entered Abadam town
on Friday night; and shot at any resident
sighted for almost two days; until early hours
of Sunday, when many of us started to flee for
safety into various directions, including
farmlands, bushes and border areas of Bosso
town in Niger Republic.”
