Adamawa Government Insists Boko Haram behind Recent Attacks
[AITONLINE.TV] The government insists intelligence at its disposal indicates that the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
carried out attacks on riverine communities along the borderline between Adamawa and Taraba States.

Deputy Governor Martin Babale and the State Commissuoner for Information and strategy Ahmad Sajoh conveyed government's position on the recent killings that left over one hundred people dead and five thousand internally displaced persons, insisting that the killings were characterized by Boko Haram styled operations.

In the past one month, there have been what seems to be similar attacks in different communities, spanning about eight local government areas in the state, with high fatality figures.

But the Police Public Relations Officer Othman Abubakar discountenanced the State Government’s position saying the killing are as a result of the farmers/herders festivities and not Boko Haram related attacks.

The attacks sparked public outrage, as farming communities interpreted their ordeal as a strategic move by Fulani militia to stop them from engaging in this year's farming season.
