Boko Haram renames captured Adamawa town, Mubi to city of Islam, introduces Sharia law, amputates 10 for stealing

Boko Haram have renamed the recently captured Mubi town in Adamawa state to "Madinatul Islam" meaning the city of Islam.

According to Aliyu Bala, one of the residents, who could not leave Mubi at the time of the invasion,  the insurgents have "mounted check points and surveillance at strategic locations, brandishing riffles but asking us not to panic or run away,"

Also, the insurgents are said to have amputated the hands of 10 residents said to have been found guilty of sundry offences, including looting of property of fleeing residents.

Sources in Mubi town said they saw the terrorists parading 10 persons whose hands were said to have been amputated.

The victims were said to been amputated in the presence of residents the insurgents asked to converge to witness the enforcement of Sharia law.

Meanwhile, Boko Haram have urged displaced residents of captured communities of Adamawa state to return home, assuring them of safety in the "Islamic Caliphate."
