ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – Following attack on Kuda community in Adamawa State by some suspected Boko Haram terrorists, the Commander 28 Task Force Brigade, Brigadier General Felix Omoigui has visited and commiserated with the families of the deceased in the community. He also interacted with the community leaders and the vigilantes.
According to a statement issued by Col. Sani Usman, acting director, Army Public relations, the Commander who was there on an assessment tour following attack by Boko Haram terrorists that claimed the lives of 18 persons with several others wounded, also condoled the community for the unfortunate incident. He also assured them that the military and indeed the security agencies were there to protect them. He added that his command would do all that is possible to track and apprehend the assailants and also assured that remnants of Boko Haram terrorists hiding in the area would be found and routed out.
He, however, stated that that could not be successfully done without the active cooperation and support of the people. He, therefore, enjoined them to see the fight against terrorism and insurgency as a collective responsibility that required synergy of efforts and timely and accurate information sharing.
He further encouraged them to be more vigilant and security conscious and report any suspicious movement or persons immediately.
Responding on behalf of the community, the district head of Gulak, Alhaji Ijadi Bello, thanked the commander for the visit and acknowledged that there was need for closer collaboration between the security agencies and his people.
