Villagers flees two ancient towns in Borno state after receiving letter from bokoharam.

Thousands of people have fled the ancient towns of Kukawa and Gubio in Borno State for the state capital, Maiduguri, after a letter reportedly written by the Islamist terror group, Boko Haram, threatened an imminent attack.

The fleeing residents arrived at the Baga motor park in numerous vehicles, with many moving into refugee camps while others sought out relations residing in Maiduguri.

Residents say;
“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.
