Boko Haram Trying To Seize Biu in Borno State

Boko Haram militants are reportedly attempting to seize Biu, the largest town of Southern Borno state.

Premium Times reports with reference to the locals that the insurgents stormed the town today morning.

One of the residents, Kaka Ali, said that upon invading Biu, the fighters moved to take over the army barracks.
“Our boys have already taken strategic position waiting for them, at the moment, the soldiers are battling them. All we can hear now are gunshots from the direction of the barracks.”

It comes days after the capture of Baga, another strategic town of the state. Additionally, it was reported only yesterday that Boko Haram attacked Askira forcing locals out of their homes.
