Based on reports coming from Borno state Nigeria and BBC,we've just been informed that,Nigeria's militant Islamist group Boko Haram has seized the key north-eastern town of Bama after fierce fighting with government forces, residents say.
According to report from BBC Hausa news,Thousands of civilians have fled the town, along with soldiers as the devils stormed a certain military base in Bama area
, they added.
Although,The military has not yet officially commented on the claim that it has lost control of Bama, the second biggest town in Borno state.
But,Last month, Boko Haram said it had established an Islamic state in areas it controls in north-eastern Nigeria.

If confirmed, the capture of Bama would be an extremely significant development and would raise concerns that Boko Haram's next target will be Maiduguri, the state capital about 70km (45 miles) away, which would be the biggest town under Boko Haram control. says BBC Hausa service editor Mansur Liman in the capital, Abuja.
Giving details on the report,Residents revealed that, Boko Haram captured Bama after heavy fighting on Sunday and Monday leaving many of indegenes walking all the way to Maiduguri, residents told the BBC.
Adding that,The military had initially repelled Boko Haram's assault, but the group returned with reinforcements to seize the town, saying that,The militants, who travelled in armoured trucks, first took control of the military barracks, before spreading out to the neighborhood
..but the question now is where are these boko harams coming from,are they civilians or military personel???
