Pandemonium yesterday enveloped Mubi, the commercial nerve centre of Adamawa State, as Boko Haram attacked a military unit, police station, the emir’s palace and prison in the city.
It was gathered that the insurgents, in a swift attack, moved from Michika to Uba and finally Mubi where they wreaked devastating havoc.
In the attack, the Mubi Divisional Police Station, palace of the Emir of Mubi, Alhaji Isah Ahmadu, a military unit in the city and the prisons were hit. No fewer than 45 inmates of the prison were said to have escaped.
All efforts to get the Army Public Relations Officer of the 23rd Armoured Brigade, Yola, Captain Jaafaru Nuhu, failed, as his phones were not reachable, as at the time of filing this report.
It was, however, gathered that the military engaged the insurgents in a gun duel to prevent them from attacking the country home of the Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh.
As at time of filing these reports, the number of casualties on both sides could not be ascertained.
Meanwhile, Mubi residents are leaving the city in droves. Confirming this, a prominent figure of Mubi Emirate Council, who pleaded anonymity, told Daily Sun on phone that residents had been escaping to Cameroun through the mountains as well as other routes.
In a related developemt, anxiety has enveloped residents of Yola metropolis, with parents whose wards are in the three tertiary institutions in Mubi, expressing fears over their safety.
