Members of Boko Haram have sacked the hometown of
Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, Mayo Belwa,
damaging a prison, police station and a bank.
The state police command confirmed the Thursday night
attacks but made no statement on the casualty figure.
This is coming a week after a clash between the Joint
Task Force in the North and Boko Haram militants left
187 people dead.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ibrahim
Mohammed, confirmed the incident. He, however, could
not provide details.
Since the April 19 clash between the JTF and Boko
Haram in Baga, Borno State, at least nine policemen
have been killed in separate attacks in Borno and Yobe
states.
The Commissioner of Police in Yobe State, Sanusi
Rufai, said five policemen were killed during an alleged
attack by Boko Haram terrorists in Gashua on Thursday,
while four other policemen were killed in Bama, a border
town in Borno State, the same day.
As at press time, only scanty details of the Adamawa
attacks had emerged.
Despite the amnesty plans for Boko Haram, for which
the Federal Government has established a controversial
committee, attacks in northern Nigeria continue.
The JTF in Yobe had on Thursday introduced an
extended curfew in Gashua.
The spokesperson for the task force, Lt. Eli Lazarus,
said at the time that the curfew would be between 6 am
and 1 pm.
Lazarus said the curfew was to enable the JTF to
continue with its ongoing cordon-and-search operation
following the attack in which the policemen were killed.
The Northern State Governors Forum on Friday
described the death of the policemen as a great national
loss, referring to them as heroes who died in the course
of service to their fatherland.
The governors expressed serious concern at the recent
attacks, appealing to the Boko Haram sect to give peace
a chance.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State,
Babangida Aliyu, said in a statement signed by his
spokesperson, Danladi Ndayebo, "The renewed violence
in Borno and Yobe states negates all efforts to restore
peace to this region.
