media have been seeing burnt
vehicles and motorcycles
belonging to the members of
Boko Haram littering the roads,
cars in tens were seen packed by
the roads side and deserted by
commuters for fear of been killed
by the dreaded Islamic sect as the
roads was heavily stocked off
with too much vehicles hindering
a fast movement, many prefer

hideouts and many ran to the

Col. Danladi Jibrin Abdullahi, the

Brigade, in his address to the
press said: “we want to take you
round Mubi to see the significant
success recorded by the Nigerian
army’.’
The correspondent narrated
further: ”Mubi town is empty; all
Major roads were littered with
decomposed human beings
suspected to be Book Haram
terrorists; clothings, beddings
and even kitchen utensils
defected the town with serious
unfriendly odour seeping out of
houses and quarters; no single
house is seen undamaged; all the
mega churches in the town were
raze down and countless houses
were burnt down.”
“Taking the press to the market
square through the major road,
only few individuals were seen
who got encourage by the
security men seen parading the
street with their minimal market
stuff crying “Allah ya taimako,”
meaning God will help the
soldiers, making some sales
around. In the market is where
we saw few petty traders but
more than half of the shops are
under lock and keys and major
part of the market got burnt
down by Boko Haram.”

I never thought we can be free
like this but because of these
soldiers Mubi is safe for
everybody to come back. May God
continue to help our soldiers so
that this wicked people will not
resurface again.
