Boko Haram Declares Gwoza Town Islamic Caliphate

Gwoza is one of the towns seized by the group earlier this month. Soldiers this week refused to deploy to Gwoza without better weapons.

Boko haram has declared an Islamic Caliphate in Gwoza, Borno State, Nigeria.
In a video obtained by AFP, Abubakar Shekau said
“Thanks be to Allah who gave victory to our brethren in (the town of) Gwoza and made it part of the Islamic caliphate,“By the grace of Allah we will not leave the town. We have come to stay,”
