The Nigerian military are now hunting some Boko Haram militants between Hong and Michika in Adamawa State, in an effort to flush out the terrorists. According to the Punch it was gathered that some youths, who are mostly from Michika, had hid in the community to attack soldiers in the communities around Michika.
The soldiers have limited movement from Hong to Michika to prevent the terrorists from fleeing the area. The source said that some of the insurgents supposed to be from the Michika area launched an attack on an army checkpoint in the town but were resisted by the soldiers.
