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 a week ago turn out that the military had led an assault against agitators in the city and the military even tweeted that it was doing "everything fundamental" to extinguish the terrorists' attack.
One man, named Abu Zinnira, has told writers that Bama now was in full control of the faction with the late military push making no additions.
Abu Zinnira has been known as a representative of the order, however he has not been gotten notification from throughout the previous two years.
