Boko Haram takeover

Some media outlets said that the city was renamed to Madinatul Islam, meaning city of Islam by jihadist group Boko Haram in October 2014 when they captured the town under their control.

In November 2014, the Nigerian Army took back control of Mubi from Boko Haram. Adamawa State governor Bala James Ngilari said government forces had recaptured the town from Boko Haram. Some reports said Boko Haram had withdrawn from the town after looting peoples goods and money to their hideout from the town, rather than as the result of direct fighting. However, Bala Ngilari's chief of staff, Chibudo Babbi, told the BBC Hausa Service that remnants of the group were flushed out of Mubi by the military.
