Report: Boko Haram Has “Completely Surrounded” Vital City Of Maiduguri
The Muslims Are Restless
From the BBC:
Nigeria’s militant Islamists have “completely surrounded” Maiduguri, the main city in north-eastern Borno state, traditional elders have warned.
The military needed to “fortify” the city, which had a population of more than two million, to prevent an assault “from all directions”, they said.
The Boko Haram militants had “annexed” areas that were about 50km (30 miles) from Maiduguri, they said. Boko Haram declared a caliphate in areas it controls last month.
Boko Haram has also captured territory in neighbouring Adamawa state, forcing people to flee into hills, where they are eating leaves, residents told the BBC.
BEF said the military needed to “urgently fortify” the city, where Boko Haram was founded in 2002.
“The insurgents have surrounded Maiduguri and are nursing the ambition of attacking the city from all directions,” BEF said.
