Suspected Boko Haram insurgents hit Yola, kill 6
Adamawa State has been enmeshed in a series of attacks these past few days, the most recent being the attack on traders in a popular building material market in Jimeta Monday. The attack left two dead and two others in a critical state.
Barely 24 hours before that, gun men killed three people at the entrance of the Jimeta ultra-modern market.
In addition, some armed gangs attacked and killed a First Bank manager in Damilu, opposite the Yola International Airport, and made away with his car in the wee hours of Sunday.
The attackers of the bank manager did not go unpunished as the attackers were chased and caught by security officials as they tried to, escape towards Maiduguri, Borno State. They were stopped by a detachment of military personnel stationed along Gombi-Biu road.
The Army Public Relations Officer, Victor Olukoya, and Police Public Relations Officer, Yoila Nemuel, who jointly addressed the press on Tuesday in Yola, said the information garnered from the arrested armed gangs led them to a hideout of the criminal gangs in Jambutu “where a significant breakthrough was recorded in the fight against the Boko Haram sect”. Prior to this, the security officers say, a joint effort had led to the uncovering of a bomb factory in the state.
The retaliation
In what appears a retaliation from the gunmen, suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect, some gunmen organised a simultaneous attack in Yola town and Jimeta.
Witnesses say the gunmen arrived at the popular Upper Luggere axis of Jimeta, driving a Toyota Starlet car and fired on traders in the popular building materials market, killing an Igbo trader popularly known as “Abanime” while his brother, known as Odidi, sustained serious bullet wounds. Mr. Odidi is receiving treatment at the intensive care unit of Federal Medical centre, Yola.
The attacks are believed to be a return statement by members of the dreaded Islamic sect who have continued to suffer major streaks of defeat from security forces in the state following a clampdown on its hideout and arrest of many of its members.
