Emerging report revealed that Boko Haram insurgents have attacked Kamale community, in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Report shows that at least four people were killed, and many others including a House of Representatives Member, elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Kamale, badly injured.
Security and local sources revealed that though the incident occurred on Christmas Day, it was not reported until Thursday evening, due to communication problems in the mountainous area of Michika.
“It was not reported until Thursday, due to lack of communication, and the survivors have scampered, while others climbed mountains for their lives’’, Micheal Zira, one of the fleeing residents said.
Confirming the attack on Friday, the distraught Lawmaker, Kamale, said the assailants sneaked into the town while people were celebrating Christmas.
“It was horror, and we saw hell when the gunmen, though I cannot ascertain whether they were Boko Haram or not, came to the area at about 11 p.m. on Monday, being the Christmas day, and launched an attack on residents.
“They just opened fire sporadically, during which they killed four people, while several other residents were injured in a bid to escape the onslaught.
“I escaped being killed by (the) whiskers, and I cannot recall how I managed to climb the mountain. It was terrible”, the Lawmaker, who represents Michika and Madagali Federal Constituency, said.
He urged the government to deploy more Soldiers to curb insecurity in the area.
“The fact that our area shares borders with Sambisa forest and the Cameroon Republic, should have been enough reason why government must deploy security personnel to protect us. If the government does not take proactive measures to stem the ugly insurrection, they will kill all of us.
“The number of Soldiers deployed is grossly inadequate, we need more security personnel, as our villages share borders with Sambisa forest”, the Lawmaker said.
