Less than 48 hours after the ceasefire
agreement between the federal government
and terrorist group Boko haram, gunmen
suspected to be the insurgents have attacked
Sina, a village in Mitchika area of Adamawa
state.
According to Dr. Caleb Filli, a community
leader in Michika who is presently taking
refuge in Yola, he said the gunmen who were
in their hundreds invaded the village in the
afternoon and burnt down houses and also
shot sporadically thereby creating panic which
forced residents of the town to flee for safety.
He also appealed to the federal government to
ensure that the ceasefire agreement included
the withdrawal of Boko haram fighters from
the areas they are presently occupying,
revealing that the ceasefire would not be
meaningful unless it paved way for residents
to return to their home.
Filli added that he couldn’t ascertain the
Number of deaths as the time of filing this
report and also sympathized with the
thousands of displaced residents who are
living as refugees after been forced to leave
their farms and businesses behind.
