Boko Haram now claiming towns with their FLAG ...firing Rocket Launchers

Boko Haram extremists have killed more than 100 people and hoisted their black and white flag over a town left undefended by Nigeria’s military, just 85 kilometres from the north-eastern state capital of Maiduguri, a civil defence spokesman and a human rights advocate said on Saturday.

Hundreds of villagers in another north-east area, Askira Uba, are fleeing after receiving letters from the extremists threatening to attack and take over their areas, spokesman Abbas Gava of the Nigerian Vigilante Group said.

“Nine major villages are on the run,” he said.

Survivors said on Saturday that insurgents fired rocket-propelled grenades and lobbed homemade bombs into homes, and then gunned down people as they tried to escape the fires in the attack on Damboa town launched before dawn on Friday. Most of the town has burned down, they said.
