The father of Mr. Tanko Wazimtu, personal assistant to acting Gover­nor of Adamawa State, Umaru Fintiri, was among the people killed by Boko Haram insur­gents in his Madagali residence last week.

Pa Wazintu, 75 was killed by members of the Islamist sect in the presence of his wife and daughter.

As at the time of filing this report, sympathizers were still trooping to the res­idence of the acting gover­nor and that of his aide over Pa Wazintu death.

Bemoaning his father’s gruesome death, Tanko Wa­zintu, said: “My sister and step mother were forced to dig a hole to bury my father after being forced to sleep with his corpse for more that 72 hours.”

Meanwhile, investigation by Daily Sun revealed that the insurgents have been forcefully recruiting youths into the Islamist group.

One of the youths, On­yebuchi Romanus, said he escaped by the whiskers in Adamawa State.

Romanus, who hails from Ekwusigo Local Govern­ment Area in Anambra State, said it was the prayers of Nigerians that set him free from the sect consider­ing the threat mounted on him by the insurgents when they realised that he was not interested in their member­ship.
