Army Accuses Airforce Of Bombing Adamawa Check Points by luigiajah(m): 7:05am On Nov 04, 2014
As the battle between the Nigerian military and the
outlawed Islamic sect, Boko Haram, intensified in
Adamawa State, some Army officers have accused
their counterparts in the Air Force for bombarding
checkpoints manned by Army.
One of the soldiers, who spoke on condition of
anonymity to our correspondent on Monday in Yola,
said “ We are 17 in number, manning checkpoints
on the Mubi side, when an Air Force plane drop
bombs on us. We all fled the area. Up until now, I
cannot say where my colleagues are, because we ran
in different directions.
“I managed to come to Yola through Cameroon, after
trekking for some kilometres. I was assisted by some
good Samaritan.”
Residents of Hong said an Air Force helicopter also
dropped bombs on some residential houses in Shuwa
village near the hometown of Nigerian Ambassador
to Tunisia, Ambassador James Barka.
Meanwhile, as part of measures to contain the level
of insecurity, the Adamawa State Government has
banned the use of motorcycles in seven local
government areas with immediate effect.
The affected local governments are Numan, Demsa,
Girei, Song, Gombi, Hong and Fufore.
A statement by the Director, Press and Public Affairs,
Government House, Yola, Mr. P.P. Elisha, said,
“Security agents have been directed to ensure
enforcement of the policy.”
The ousted regime of Murtala Nyako had banned
the use motorcycles in Yola North, Yola South, Mubi
and Michika and Madagali Local Government
areas.
Security situation had deteriorated in the northern
parts of Adamawa State with Mubi, the second
largest town in the state, falling under the control of
Boko Haram last Wednesday.
