Fintiri Visits Nine Victims Killed in Suspected Insurgent Attack on Adamawa Community

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has visited Mayo-Ladde community in Gaya District of Hong Local Government Area, Adamawa State, where nine people were killed in a suspected Boko Haram attack.

The governor described the incident as unfortunate and commiserated with families of the victims, assuring residents of his administration’s resolve to restore peace and prevent further attacks.

The assault, which occurred on Tuesday, left a trail of destruction and forced residents to flee to neighbouring communities, including Uba Gaya, where many are currently taking refuge.

Security operatives, supported by local vigilante groups, were able to repel the attackers after a confrontation, forcing them to retreat.

Fintiri commended the military, police, and community-based security groups for their swift response, noting that their intervention helped contain the situation.

Community leaders, however, called for a stronger and sustained security presence to forestall recurring attacks in the area.

Relative calm has since been restored following the deployment of additional military personnel to the affected communities.

The governor was accompanied on the visit by top government officials, including the Secretary to the State Government, Auwal Tukur, and Chief of Staff, Edgar Amos, as part of efforts to reassure residents and reinforce confidence in the government’s response to insecurity.
