Only 64 Gunmen Seized Mubi! by Nobody: 5:46am On Nov 06, 2014 |
The recent capture of Mubi town in Adamawa State was carried out by only 64 Boko Haram members, a resident who fled the town said. The man also told the BBC Hausa on Tuesday that the insurgents told the residents that only seven fighters attacked the military barracks. “The boys have been on alert, as they continue to patrol the town,” the resident said. “They man all the junctions in the town and search all those coming into and going out of the town. “Some of them went to a cleric and lectured him extensively. They told the cleric that they were able to capture the town so easily because what they stand for was the right path. “They told him that only 64 of them launched attack on Mubi and captured the town eventually. The boys (Boko Haram) told the cleric that only seven people were left to handle the town’s military barrack,” he said. The local, who spoke after he left Mubi, explained that there was not a single uniformed security officer in Mubi presently, “unless if they changed their uniforms to civilian ones.” He said some jobless youths alleged to be thieves were killed by the sect’s members after discovering stolen cartons of foodstuff in their houses. “They not only amputated them, but killed them after they found out that parts of Mubi town were set ablaze to enable them break into shops and steal,” he said. He said the insurgents, mostly youths, have been moving freely in the town and patroling all the streets with guns. “When they come to you, you just have to say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and they will allow you to pass untouched,” he said. www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/news/38802-only-64-gunmen-seized-mubi 1 Like |

Sijo01:Mubi had three army battalions comprising of 234 Brigade, 213 Brigade and the 21 support group; a sum total of about 3,000 soldiers. So 64 Boko Fighters chased 3,000 soldiers of the Nigerian Army away? 6 Likes |

Arch1:But why must a town with 3000 soldiers fall so easily to whatever number of enemy attacking? At least it should have taken many days of intense fighting with heavy casualties on both sides before the town of such a number of "loyal" soldiers should fall! 8 Likes |

"The recent capture of Mubi town in Adamawa State was carried out by only 64 Boko Haram members, a resident who fled the town said. The man also told the BBC Hausa on Tuesday that the insurgents told the residents that only seven fighters attacked the military barracks." A fleeing resident counted the BH and knew that their number was 64... Interesting..... Even if they invited you for a dinner, I seriously doubt if you can correctly count them all.... I do not believe this . 1 Like |

wazoboy: The way and manner Mubi fell to the insurgents should really give every Nigerians a cause for concern. Why will the NA simply desert their duty post when Boko haram attacked? It is not as if they weren't expecting the attacks before, infact, the two different battalions was stationed there to ensure that the town will not fall to the insurgents when they attack. So, how come 64 ragtag militants defeated two fully armed military battalions without any serious fighting or heavy casualties? The only logical explanation is that someone at the top must have given them the order not to fight. So the question is, who gave the order? I think someone is tactically trying to prevent the 2015 election from holding or desperately trying to prevent the north east from fully participating in the election. As it stands, only one person can benefit politically from the present situation in the north east and I think the search light should be on him. 5 Likes |

Honestly I think an international independent panel of enquiry should be set up to unravel exactly what is going on in the Nigeria Army, who is giving the order and why are they not fighting. How can just 64 gun men sack a whole 3 battalion numbering upto 3000 soldiers from their barracks. This is surely a SHAME, honestly. 1 Like |

Nothing some people won't do to discredit the government. So someone actually went round and took a head count of the terrorists and concluded it was 64... Enemies of Nigeria, well done. Nor be una I blame cha, na d fools wen full Nigeria wen dey bath with salt and water na dey believe everything hook, line and sinker. Come February 2015 after Jonathan is sworn in again some serious soul searching would be done and you would ask yourself all the wasted lives just to oust one man, was it worth it? Till then, keep killing yourselves and kidnapping your own people 3 Likes |
