Local militia in Adamawa State have successfully chased out the dreaded Boko Haram militants from of Mubi, , nearly two weeks after the town fell to the insurgents, the state governor and residents said Thursday.
A spokesperson to Governor Bala Ngilari on Thursday said Mubi is now “quite different from what it used to be”.
He said local vigilante, popularly called Civilian JTF, launched a daring night time attack on Boko Haram insurgents in Mubi and drove them out of town between Wednesday and Thursday.
The government said the operation received some support from the military.
The Defence Headquarters could not confirm the operation. Spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, could not be reached.
A military official, however, said the operation was not as “conclusive as claimed”.
