Insurgent group, Boko Haram has claimed that it has now captured Borno state’s second largest town, Bama and now is in full control of the state.
This however contradicts the stance of the Nigerian military, who claim that it isn’t so.
Boko Haram had attacked Bama two weeks ago, killing and maiming several locals of the town and destroying several properties worth millions of dollars.
Reports had last week come out that the military had conducted an attack against insurgents in the city and the military even tweeted that: it was doing “everything necessary” to quench the terrorists onslaught.

One man named, Abu Zinnira has told journalists that Bama now is in full control of the sect with the recent military push making no gains.
Abu Zinnira has been known as a spokesman of the sect but he hasn’t been heard from for the last two years.

The call he made lasted only 29 seconds and was fully in Hausa.
The spokesman speaking from the other end of the call said: “This is a rebuttal from the information dissemination and sensitization unit of the Jamaatul Ahlil Sunna Lidawati Wal Jihad (Boko Haram) on the series of lies that the Nigeria military have been feeding the world on our recent conquests”.
“Let the whole world know that we are on the path of victory because up to this minute, the town of Bama is under our control, the whole of Minchika is now in our hands, as well as Manalapan (Junction of) Mubi is now fully under our control.
“We are assuring the world that this would be continuous and there will be no going back by God’s grace. This is a message from me Abu Zinnira, on behalf of our brethren,” he said.
Reports had surfaced on Saturday from the Adamawa State government revealing that the sect fully has control of Gulak and other towns in Adamawa state.
They said: “It has come to the attention of the Adamawa State Government that insurgents are now in Gulak, the headquarters of Madagali Local Government Area and had killed and displaced scores of people.
“On behalf of the people and government of Adamawa, his Excellency deeply sympathises with the people of Gulak and other surrounding villages and towns whose areas had been overran by insurgents”.
Boko Haram has been a virus in Nigeria for the last 5 years, killing over 5000 people and destroying more properties, also crippling the North eastern Nigeria’s economy.
