BORNO - Thousands of residents have deserted Kukawa and Gubio towns for the state capital, Maiduguri after receiving a letter reportedly from the Boko Haram sect, threatening an imminent attack.

“They had attacked other local government areas around us. So when we received threat letters from Boko Haram that they would attack us soon, we all had to flee for our lives,” said Modu Kaka, one of those who fled. He added, “We heard what happened to people in Damasak where a similar threat was made and carried by Boko Haram.”

Gubio, located in the northern part of Borno State, is about 50 miles from Maiduguri.

A fish seller at Baga fish market named Gubio Masa said “I have 12 members of my family from Gubio town now staying in my house. I don't know how we are going to cope. We want the military to double their efforts to ensure that this madness stops. We can no longer sleep with our two eyes even in Maiduguri. Gubio is less than 100 kilometers.”
