There are reports that Boko Haram have invaded Dikwa Local Government, a Borno town some 90 kilometers east of Maiduguri.
The invasion came 24 hours after the state governor Babagana Zulum got back from a trip after spending three nights in Dikwa.
Zulum left Maiduguri on Wednesday, a day after Marte was liberated, and proceeded to Dikwa where he stayed till Saturday, proceeded to Ngala, and returned to Maiduguri on Sunday.
The invasion took place on Monday night through the early hours of Tuesday, with the insurgents destroying government facilities, the Shehu’s palace and hospitals belonging to NGOs.
Newsmen reported from sources stuck in Dikwa that the invasion are presently moving round the town, and have gotten to a checkpoint at the exit avoiding people from going to Maiduguri.
The Chief of Army staff had currently visited the headquarters of the Army Super Camp 9 located in Dikwa is where he gave troops a 48-hour(two days) ultimatum to put an end to insurgents from neighboring Marte local government.
Roughly 35,000 people had migrated Marte to Dikwa when the Boko Haram attacked.
But officials disclosed they are not capable of returning the migrated people even after the military librated the town (Marte) because of reports of land mines planted on the roads by the insurgents.
It is not obvious at this moment if there are any death recorded.
