500 houses destroyed in Adamawa State. by boko haram

No fewer than 500 houses were destroyed in the Kubi
and Watu villages in Michika Local Government Areas of
Adamawa State as the suspected Boko Haram
insurgents operated unchallenged in one of its recent
attacks.
Members of the community, who spoke on the telephone
from their hideouts told Vanguard that the absence of
military personnel in Michika and its environs was
responsible for the heavy damage inflicted on them.
“Since the complete take-over of Michika and Madagali
by the insurgents on September 7, 2014, no single
soldier has been noticed in the area. The only thing we
see are jet fighters which come from Yola, the state
capital to drop bombs and go back. Our people are
helpless as the insurgents control everything in our local
government,” they lamented.
According to them, the insurgents were having a field
day maiming and killing people and leaving their dead
bodies at the mercy of vultures and pigs.
They further alleged that only Vimtim, the hometown of
the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Air marshal Alex Badeh
was fortified by the military in the area.
They then urged the Federal Government, to as a matter
of urgency deploy military personnel to the affected
areas to give the people a sense of belonging.
The people Michika faulted the actions of the political
class in the state, whom they accused of abandoning
them at their trying periods .
