Boko Haram fighters are preparing in mass at their
headquarters in the northeastern Nigerian town of Gwoza,
Maiduguri, Borno State for a showdown with Multinational
Joint Task Force, residents and an intelligence officer told
The Associated Press.
A woman, who was trapped in the town since it was seized
in July, 2014 told her daughter that the insurgents were
urging civilians to leave town to avoid being killed in
crossfire in an anticipated major battle.
Hajiya Adama said her mother told her that the insurgents
had also released some young women being held against
their will, including some made pregnant during their
captivity.
She said her mother left last week and escaped to the town
of Yola, in neighbouring Adamawa state capital.
Adama said, “She told me that Boko Haram terrorists asked
them to leave suddenly, that they were preparing grounds
for a major battle.
“She said while being helped by other women to leave
through Madagali, they saw many Boko Haram terrorists in
trucks and some on bikes moving toward Gwoza.”
An intelligence officer said security forces have been
moving slowly for fear of harming civilians, and especially
since the insurgent group is surrounding Gwoza with land
mines. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
