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.
