BBC Africa wrote: The son of Nigerias former president Olusegun Obasanjo has been shot and wounded in a battle with Boko Haram militants. Lieutenant-Colonel Adeboye Obasanjo was injured on Monday as the army fought to recapture the town of Michika, near Mubi, in Adamawa state. A spokesman for the former president told the BBC he was in a stable condition. Residents say thousands have left Mubi, the army barracks are deserted and the Sate University is closed. Boko Haram has taken many north-eastern towns and declared an Islamic state in areas it controls.
