After its invasion and takeover of Mubi town
in Adamawa State, Boko Haram has now
named the town “Madinatul Islam” which
reportedly means, “the City of Islam”.
Vanguard reports that in addition to
renaming the town, the terrorists are
imploring residents who fled to return, stating
that they would be more secure in Boko
Haram-controlled regions.
One of the Mubi residents told journalists:
“They (insurgents) mounted check-points in
strategic locations, brandishing rifles but
asking us not to panic or run away. But
despite assurances of safety and security,
thousands of the trapped residents have been
sneaking out as they said they would not risk
staying in the town for fear of the unknown.”
Another resident who is still in Mubi revealed
that normal activities in the town have
resumed despite Boko Haram’s rule, and that
people have begun opening their shops and
resuming their businesses.
The terrorists have also warned politicians
not to attempt conducting elections in
Adamawa State, as that would result in
serious consequences.
