Oh dear! Has Boko Haram taken over the 2nd largest city in Borno

Boko Haram militants invaded Borno State's
second largest city, Bama, this morning and it
looks like they managed to overpower the
Nigerian troops who engaged them in a fierce gun
battle today. According to Sahara Reporters, Boko
Haram men have taken over Bama and have now
hoisted their flag within the city. Bama is just one
hour from the state capital, Maiduguri. Continue...
SR reports that several soldiers were killed during
the gun battle, many of them are missing, while
over 100 soldiers who sustained serious injuries
are currently being treated at the MRS hospital in
Maimalari Barracks.
An intelligence source told Sahara that only a few
soldiers, in four armored tanks, were seen near
Yezaram River and that the unit was in no way
capable of re-taking Bama from the militants.
Meanwhile a source told me that there's been a
curfew in Maiduguri, that it is likely air strikes will
be deployed at Bama and civilians may be
requested to leave the town of Bama.
