An Adamawa state official said that over 3,000 residents of the Gwoza and Bama areas of Borno state have fled to Adamawa to escape fighting between Boko Haram and government forces. The governor of Ebonyi state called on Nigerians to rise up against Boko Haram. Amnesty International urged investigation into the alleged deaths of hundreds of Boko Haram militants in Nigerian detention; the Interior Minister dismissed the allegation as “not true.”
