In November 2014, the Nigerian army took back control of Mubi from Boko Haram. Adamawa state governor Bala Ngilari said government forces had recaptured the town, although there was no independent confirmation of this. Some reports said Boko Haram had withdrawn after looting the town, rather than as the result of direct fighting. However, Bala Ngilari's chief of staff, Chibudo Babbi, told the BBC Hausa Service that remnants of the group were being flushed out of Mubi by the military.
Mubi town fell victim to a terrorist attack on 2 October 2012 when suspected members of Boko Haram entered the town at around 10pm and started to kill indiscriminately. The victims were mostly students from the three educational institutions (Federal Polytechnic Mubi, School Of Health Technology and Adamawa State University) based in the town. The death toll was put at 25 initially, however, the number is said to be closer to 45.
Two simple places
We wanted to go
Two simple things
You wanted to know
Everything around
I could not see
I wish I'd known
How much you loved me
we could feel this way forever
I watched the sun,
cause it touches you while you sleep
You gave me something,
that I wanted to keep
I see you smile you smile like a little child
And hold you crying when it all goes wild
