Reports came in yesterday that the Nigerian military has recaptured Mubi town in Adamawa State, northern Nigeria from the Boko Haram insurgents.

According to a BBC report, the terrorists are currently fleeing from the Nigerian Soldiers.

Also, a resident in Mubi confirmed the information to newsmen, saying:

“Earlier today, soldiers launched a fierce attack, which saw the Boko Haram militants retreating.

“They have chased them away, but I’m not sure how far they went‎. Right now, people are still afraid of returning to the town because of the shock of the capture.

“And some are afraid that Boko Haram may return, that’s why the news is not being celebrated‎.”

Official confirmation by the DHQ is still being expected.
