Boko Haram abducts Adamawa LG vice-chairman
February 26, 2015
Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh
The Adamawa State Police Command on
Wednesday said that the Vice-Chairman of the Hong Local Government
Area, Bijida Yakubu, was abducted last week by suspected Boko Haram
fighters.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, Othman Abubakar, also told the News Agency of Nigeria, that three vigilante members, that were with Yakubu, lost their lives in the encounter.
Abubakar, who did not give details,
however, said policemen investigating the incident had so far recovered
the vice-chairman’s shoes.
The abduction was said to have been carried out by Boko Haram members who attacked Gayafa village.
A resident of Hong, who simply
identified himself as Hussaini, said, “You know insurgents attacked the
village last week. The vice-chairman, who hails from the village, was on
an assessment visit with some hunters when the insurgents attacked and
over-powered them.
“About seven insurgents were killed in the encounter before they overpowered the hunters and took away the vice-chairman.”
Hussaini claimed that the abducted vice-
chairman was later allowed by his captors to call his wife with his
cell phone before the device was switched off.
Meanwhile, the Presidency on Wednesday
reviewed the ongoing military onslaught against Boko Haram and said the
success recorded so far was because of certain factors.
The Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, who spoke with journalists
in Abuja, listed the deployment of specially-trained anti-terrorism
combat squad in the troubled states and the purchase of sophisticated
military hardware as the factors.
He said, “There is a recent approval by
the African Union and the United Nations for a broad-based international
coalition to collaborate with our military.
“This approval also gives legal
authority to our neighbours ( Chad, Niger and Cameroon) to lawfully
deploy troops on Nigerian soil while our Military can now operate beyond
our borders to hunt fleeing terrorists; thus removing their safe
haven.”
Okupe also denied the media reports that President Goodluck Jonathan said he underrated the sect.
He said, “In the first instance, what
President Jonathan said in the interview which has been mischievously
twisted by the APC(All Progressives Congress) was that at the outset of
the Boko Haram activities, the group was treated as a local insurgent
group in view of the fact that there was scanty information on its
global network in training, funding and supply of arms.”
Also in Abuja on Wednesday, the Catholic
Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, said the elections
scheduled for March 28 and April 11 must hold whether the military
succeeded or failed in wiping out insurgency in the North-East.
Onaiyekan spoke with journalists on Wednesday in Abuja at the second and third convocation of Veritas University.
