People
fleeing from #BokoHaram militants in northeastern #Nigeria have been
giving harrowing accounts to the BBC. Thousands of people have fled to
refugee camps in Yola, the capital of Adamawa state.
One man said he and others were trapped in the hills, trying to survive by eating leaves. One woman said she was sheltering children who could not find their parents, as Nigerian military fighter jets dropped bombs nearby. The son of the former president Olusegun Obasanjo, who was injured in a Boko Haram ambush on Monday, has now been released from hospital. Boko Haram has taken towns in northeastern Nigeria and declared an Islamic state in areas it controls.
