Maiha town, which is about 25 kilometers from Mubi town that was captured about two weeks ago, and about 200km from Yola the state capital, has now been recovered from the insurgents.

Maiha fell into the hands of  Boko Haram insurgents in a fierce battle with the Nigerian troops on Monday.
Sources say local hunters ambushed the insurgents and killed them in their dozens.

โ€œThe hunters mobilized and gave the insurgents hot chase during which many Boko Haram sect members are killed,โ€ Bello Yaโ€™u, a resident of Maiha, said. โ€˜โ€™We commend them for the gallant fight.โ€
